Análisis de las visiones utópicas de la ciudad, desde las puramente artísticas hasta aquellas que supusieron importantes transformaciones e innovaciones urbanísticas y arquitectónicas. Se desvelan gran variedad de motivaciones y concepciones sobre la ciudad a lo largo del tiempo, convertidas en un microcosmos donde la búsqueda de la belleza y el establecimiento de un orden y una jerarquía significaron, ante todo, un intento de dominar el caos de la vida. Una obra que invita a la reflexión rigurosa y el debate fecundo de ideas.

Andrea llega a Barcelona para estudiar letras. Sus ilusiones chocan, inmediatamente, con el ambiente de tension y emociones violentas que reina en casa de su abuela. Andrea relata el contraste entre este sordido microcosmos familiar (poblado de seres extranos y apasionantes) y la fragil cordialidad de sus relaciones universitarias, centradas en la bella y luminosa Ena. Finalmente los dos mundos convergen en un dialogo dramatico. Comparada por la critica con Cumbres borrascosas, Nada destaca tanto por su prosa fresca y directa como por la extraordinaria sensibilidad en la recreacion de una voz femenina. Cuando el libro acaba, el lector tiene la seguridad de poder encontrar, al volver la esquina, a una muchacha palida y triste, con toda la fuerza de su juventud condensada en el mirar. Es Andrea, absorta, queriendo algo, sin saber que. Como el resto de los protagonistas, ha nacido a la vida real por un prodigio de la creacion artistica. Prodigio mas que suficiente para formar parte de la historia de la literatura.

The Catwalk Watch plants us firmly in the quicksand of a vast dystopia. Poet and reader become pilgrim, prisoner and explorer of an undiscovered country peopled by characters whose lives are governed by ritual, fable and mystery. It is a world where a poem can be taken out and walked on a leash, a microcosmos strewn with traps, where custom and absurd necessity devour sensibility. At any moment, you can slip through the cracks and be forever lost.

Plano Nacional de Leitura Livro recomendado para o Ensino Secundário como sugestão de leitura. Os Chefes (1959) foi a primeira obra publicada de Mario Vargas Llosa, e com ela obteve o seu primeiro reconhecimento literário, o Prémio Leopoldo Alas. Segundo o autor, «Os Chefes é um pequeno microcosmo do que viriam a ser o resto dos meus livros.» Quando escreveu Os Cachorros (1967) o escritor peruano já era mestre de todas as faculdades da sua narrativa, pelo que este livro acaba por ser uma mostra da diversidade das paixões pessoais e colectivas. Como afirma Mario Vargas Llosa: «De todas as obras que escrevi, esta é a que tem as interpretações mais diversas.» A partir dos adolescentes protagonistas dos dois textos, o autor reflecte sobre a tirania e a violência que marcam uma sociedade e frustram as expectativas dos seus habitantes.

Idioma/Language: Español. «Hay mucho más en este libro que el relato del asedio más largo de la Gran Guerra, aquel que detuvo el avance ruso y salvó a las Potencias Centrales de la derrota en 1914. Revela, como un microcosmos, todo lo que era loco, malo y peligroso acerca del Imperio austrohúngaro en sus etapas finales [. . . ] Es un libro enormemente placentero que cualquier persona que busque dar sentido al lado oscuro de la Europa del siglo XX haría bien en leer».
