Ricardo ve cumplido, a una edad muy temprana, el sue???o de vivir en Par???s. Pero el reencuentro con un amor de adolescencia lo cambiar??? todo. La joven, inconformista, aventurera, pragm???tica e inquieta, lo arrastrar??? fuera del peque???o mundo de sus ambiciones. Testigos de ???pocas convulsas y florecientes en ciudades como Londres, Par???s, Tokio o Madrid, ambos personajes ver???n sus vidas entrelazarse sin llegar a coincidir del todo. Esta danza de encuentros y desencuentros har??? crecer la intensidad del relato p???gina a p???gina hasta propiciar una verdadera fusi???n del lector con el universo emocional de los protagonistas. Pasi???n y distancia, azar y destino, dolor y disfrute... ???Cu???l 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.
