      Book Description

      This new encyclopaedia, the second volume of which is presented here, offers access to the diversity of ferns and seed plants, the most imrtant groups of green land plants. Available information of general and systematic relevance is synthesized at the level of families. Evidence from virtually all disciplines important to modern taxonomy makes the work a most valuable source of reference not only for taxonomists, but for all who are interested in the various aspects of plant diversity. A revised classification includes a complete inventory of genera along with their diagnostic features, keys for identification, and references to the literature.

                            5 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of nature essays.......2001-08-13

                            This, Robert Finch's first book, is a collection of essays about the wildlife, ecology, and "nature" of Cape Cod. It is pure delight -- the kind of book you might want to read at the end of a perfect day, with a glass of sherry following a good meal. The essays are short and conversational, always literate and almost always insightful. This is not specialized nature-lore, but intelligent musing on the world of Cape Cod -- ants, foxes, broken-down houses, getting lost at night. After you've read it, put it on the nightstand in the guest bedroom.

                                    Book Description

                                    Translated to over 30 languages, this is perhaps Vargas Llosa's most violent book. Set in a military school in Lima, where an unwritten code of survival of the fittest is imposed. Here, he focuses on the brutality of military life and the strong pyramidal hierarchy that mirrors Peruvian society, where violence, exploitation and human degradation are the guarantee so that each layer of the pyramid maintains its place. All the conflicts of Peruvian society arise with rage and impotence in this testimonial novel in which Vargas Llosa, paints a social and political picture.

                                    Description in Spanish: La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de jóvenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino también una crítica frontal al concepto erróneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educación castrense malentendida.

                                    Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las páginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia y la pasión de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda sensibilidad.

                                    El libro más violento de Mario Vargas Llosa, traducido a más de treinta idiomas.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Excelente libro, pero difícil de leer........2005-11-25

                                    Es una obra excelente que me enganchó casi desde el comienzo pero más fuertemente a partir de la mitad. Es la segunda obra de Vargas Llosa que leo. Me gustaron el estilo narrativo y el lenguaje, el tema y los personajes. Me pareció, sin embargo, que algunas partes esran confusas porque a veces no me quedaba claro a cuál personaje se estaba refiriendo el autor. Por ejemplo, (atención: se revelarán detalles de la trama) en algunas partes del libro pensaba que se hablaba de Alberto cuando en realidad se trataba de El Jaguar, esta confusión está originada en parte porque ambos personajes tienen novias que se llaman igual, aunque en distintas épocas. Con frecuencia tuve que releer partes del libro para resolver confusiones. También me pasó lo mismo con el tiempo y a veces leía narraciones pensando que eran del presente del libro y resulta que eran del pasado, antes de que los personajes estuvieran en el colegio militar. A pesar de todo esto, es un libro fascinante y muy recomendable, sólo le quito una estrella por ser, en ocasiones, un poco confuso.

                                    4 out of 5 stars los rostros de la sociedad limeña.......2004-07-29

                                    Este libro retrata fielmente los mil rostros de la sociedad limena. La Ciudad y los Perros, basada en los años de vida castrense que el autor "vivió" en una escuela militar, sirven para visualizar el escenario limeño de los años 60, un lugar donde conviven distintas culturas y en donde la superviviencia siempre es del más apto.

                                    5 out of 5 stars El microcosmos limeño de un gran escritor.......2003-04-02

                                    "La ciudad y los Perros" es la primera novela de MVLL, con la cual ganaría, en 1964, el premio Biblioteca Breve otorgado por Seix Barral. La publicación del libro provocó reacciones enardecidas en la cúpula militar peruana, quienes en un acto de represalia hicieron una fogata con todas las primeras ediciones que llegaron a sus manos. Esta fue la primera señal que indicaba el nacimiento de un nuevo escritor.

                                    La historia se desenvuelve dentro de un colegio militarizado (el Leoncio Prado, el cual aún se encuentra en funcionamiento) y narra de manera cruda las vicisitudes de un grupo de adolescentes que llegaron a ese colegio por diversos motivos. Unos para reformarse y convertirse en hombres de bien, y otros para hacerse "machos". En este micro-cosmos, MVLL nos revela los secretos mejor guardados de la sociedad limeña, sus vicios: el racismo (peculiar en un país pluri-cultural), las diferencias sociales (los burgueses blanquecinos viven en San Isidro, y los pobres acholados en Lince), el autoritarismo militar (los cadetes y los perros), la corrupción (la venta ilegal de pisco y cigarrillos a cambio de algunos favores, o dinero adicional), el servilismo militar ("Gamboa esa denuncia fregará tu ascenso") y el chantaje ("Cadete Fernández, si usted promete no volver hablar del tema yo olvidaré que usted escribió estas historietas inmorales"). Y aunque algunos personajes tratan de mostrar el lado bueno de la vida militar (Gamboa y su tozudez por cumplir su deber al pie de la letra, a pesar que eso podría perjudicar su futuro; el Círculo y su lealtad enfermiza, aunque esta sólo le sirva para cometer actos ilegales; la amistad entre el Poeta y el Esclavo, aunque sea considerada como una mariconada por sus compañeros de clases) es claro que el mundo que se pretende mostrar es el negativo, en el cual prevalecen las taras sociales. No olvidemos que MVLL estudió en el colegio que hace referencia en este libro, y quizás haya sido testigo presencial de aquellos excesos.

                                    Sin embargo, lo magistral de esta novela no radica precisamente en el tema -este es sólo un medio a través del cual el escritor logra su objetivo: escribir -, sino más bien en el estilo que emplea el escritor. Un vocabulario enriquecedor, empleando incluso jergas peruanas que revelan por sí mismos su significado; una descripción precisa de los personajes y ambientes, sin caer en el uso excesivo de esta técnica que podría llevar al lector al tedio somnífero; y una magnífica conexión entre sus historias.

                                    Sin atenuantes, un clásico de la Literatura Latinoamericana.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Una de las 10 mejores novelas latinoamericanas.......2001-06-19

                                    Vargas Llosa demuestra en esta novela que es un gran arquitecto de la literatura y un eficaz descriptor de la compleja sociedad peruana y latinoamericana. La novela contiene diferentes narradores e historias entrelazadas que tienen como eje principal la vida de un grupo de estudiantes de un colegio militar de Lima. Las historias del Poeta (proveniente de una familia con comodidad económica), el Jaguar (producto de la violencia y pobreza de su pasado) y el Esclavo (incapaz de enfrentar el ambiente violento) nos muestran las grandes desigualdades y conflictos de la sociedad peruana. La convivencia dramática de estos personajes en el colegio militar es un ejemplo de las dificultades de interrelación que se dan en la sociedad. He leído casi todos los libros de Vargas Llosa y definitivamente La Ciudad y los Perros junto con Conversación en la Catedral son los mejores.

                                    5 out of 5 stars The wonders of Vargas Llosa.......2001-06-12

                                    La ciudad y los perros is one of the best novels in contemporary Latinamerican literature. It is a delightful piece of Mr. Vargas Llosa's prose, his use of several narrators, his use of several times and his marvelous use of comas. It is also an open window for his Peru; I haven't been to Peru, but I already know that when I go, I will always carry Mr. Vargas Llosa's flavour in my mouth; not only from La ciudad y los perros but from his other novels. You should read this book and carry Alberto, el poeta, with you, forever.
