Creando una admirable tension entre lo comico y lo tragico, el Premio Nobel de Literatura y Principe de Asturias de las Letras, Mario Vargas Llosa, libera en esta novela una historia en la que el amor se nos muestra indefinible, dueno de mil caras, como la nina mala.

Ricardo ve cumplido, a una edad muy temprana, el sueno de vivir en Paris. Pero el reencuentro con un amor de adolescencia lo cambiara todo. La joven, inconformista, aventurera, pragmatica e inquieta, lo arrastrara fuera del pequeno mundo de sus ambiciones.

Testigos de epocas convulsas y florecientes en ciudades como Londres, Paris, Tokio o Madrid, ambos personajes veran sus vidas entrelazarse sin llegar a coincidir del todo. Esta danza de encuentros y desencuentros hara crecer la intensidad del relato pagina a pagina hasta propiciar una verdadera fusion del lector con el universo emocional de los protagonistas. Pasion y distancia, azar y destino, dolor y disfrute... ?Cual es el verdadero rostro del amor?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times Notable Book of 2007

From Nobel Prize-winning author Mario Vargas Llosa comes The Bad Girl, a "...splendid, suspenseful, and irresistible [novel]. . . A contemporary love story that explores the mores of the urban 1960s--and 70s and 80s."--The New York Times Book Review

Ricardo Somocurcio is in love with a bad girl. He loves her as a teenager known as "Lily" in Lima in 1950, when she fits into his life one summer and disappears again without explanation. He loves her still when she reappears as a revolutionary in 1960s Paris, then later as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a wealthy Englishman, and again as the mistress of a sinister Japanese businessman in Tokyo. However poorly she treats him, he is doomed to worship her. Charting Ricardo's expatriate life through his romances with this shape-shifting woman, Vargas Llosa has created a beguiling, epic romance about the life-altering power of obsession.
