Encontramos así los secretos mecanismos que movieron la pluma de Victor Hugo para crear la gran novela romántica francesa. «Los Miserables es una de esas obras que han hecho desear a más hombres y mujeres de todas las lenguas y culturas un mundo más justo, más racional y más bello que aquel en el que vivían.» Mario Vargas Llosa se adentra en la novela Los Miserables desde la perspectiva del lector agudo, del entusiasta, del creador que sabe cómo se construye una gran obra. Encontramos así los secretos mecanismos que movieron la pluma de Victor Hugo para crear la gran novela romántica francesa. La tentación de lo imposible no es un libro que trata sobre otro libro. El autor peruano no se deja nublar por las palabras y desvela las claves con las que el francés dejó constancia de su creación. Nos descubre esas huellas que hablan de un Victor Hugo escritor, político y ante todo humano; un personaje más de la novela que sabe disfrazarse de narrador o de protagonista y que también sabe cómo desaparecer sin dejar rastro. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It was one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century and Tolstoy called it "the greatest of all novels." Yet today Victor Hugo's Les Misérables is neglected by readers and undervalued by critics. In The Temptation of the Impossible, one of the world's great novelists, Mario Vargas Llosa, helps us to appreciate the incredible ambition, power, and beauty of Hugo's masterpiece and, in the process, presents a humane vision of fiction as an alternative reality that can help us imagine a different and better world. Hugo, Vargas Llosa says, had at least two goals in Les Misérables--to create a complete fictional world and, through it, to change the real world. Despite the impossibility of these aims, Hugo makes them infectious, sweeping up the reader with his energy and linguistic and narrative skill. Les Misérables, Vargas Llosa argues, embodies a utopian vision of literature--the idea that literature can not only give us a supreme experience of beauty, but also make us more virtuous citizens, and even grant us a glimpse of the "afterlife, the immortal soul, God." If Hugo's aspiration to transform individual and social life through literature now seems innocent, Vargas Llosa says, it is still a powerful ideal that great novels like Les Misérables can persuade us is true.Shipping Notes

Very stylish but not the best quality
Color: Silvery Gold green dial, Color: Silvery Gold green dial
You are getting what you pay for: the color of the dial is amazing. It looks so stylish and can really accessorize an outfit. The packaging of the watch was very nice and it came with tools to adjust the size of the watch. However the links color is not the best color and quality. The watch feels light but in a cheaper feel. I’ve ordered other watches from Amazon that in my opinion were nicer and felt and looked high end. I got this watch on sale for Black Friday but I’m not sure if I would pay full price for it.
