Book Description
Vargas Llosa nos induce sin paliativos a dejarnos prender en la red sutil de perversidad que, poco a poco, va enredando y ensombreciendo las extraordinarias armonía y felicidad que unen en la plena satisfacción de sus deseos a la sensual doña Lucrecia, la madrastra, a don Rigoberto, el padre, solitario practicante de rituales higiénicos y fantaseador amante de su amada esposa, y al inquietante Fonchito, el hijo, cuya angelical presencia y anhelante mirada parecen corromperlo todo. La reflexión múltiple sobre la felicidad, sus oscuras motivaciones y los paradójicos entresijos del poder putrefactor de la inocencia, que subyace en cada una de sus páginas, sostiene una narración que cumple con la exigencias del género sin por ello deslucir la rica filigrana poética de la escritura.

Vargas Llosa introduces us to the subtle web of perversity surrounding Lucrecia, the sensual step-mother, Rigoberto, the father and an imaginative lover to his wife, and Fonchito, the son. A fascinating interplay between innocence and perversity.
