Synopses & Reviews
Mario Vargas Llosa immerges himself in the novel Les Misérables from the perspective of the avid reader, the enthusiastic one, the creator that knows how a great work is constructed; therefore finding the secret mechanisms that moved Victor Hugos pen. This work is not a book about another book; instead, Vargas Llosa reveals the keys with which the French narrator made his creation. He discovers the tracks that speak of a writer, a political man but above all, a human Victor Hugo; just another character in the novel than knows to disguise himself as narrator or protagonist but also knows how to disappear without leaving trace.
