El pez en el agua

Vargas Llosa's work is based on numerous personal events that took place in his youth. The difficult relationship with a harsh and violent father, the birth of the writer's vocation as opposition to that authority, the years at the Leoncio Prado Military College, the early bohemian life, the hasty wedding with "Aunt Julia" or the real existence of "the green House". In addition, and as a counterweight, we learn about the short but intense political career of the author. Those three years that elapsed from the improvised popular mobilization in Plaza San Martín in opposition to the policies of Alan García until the final defeat against Fujimori.
