But his reunion with a teenage love will change everything. The young woman, nonconformist, adventurous, pragmatic and restless, will drag him out of the small world of his ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWitnesses to turbulent and flourishing eras in cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo or Madrid, which here are much more than mere settings, both characters will see their lives intertwine without ever fully coinciding. However, this dance of encounters and disagreements will increase the intensity of the story page by page until it leads to a true fusion of the reader with the emotional universe of the protagonists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Bad Girl\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), Mario Vargas Llosa plays with reality and fiction to illustrate the complexity of love: passion and distance, chance and destiny, pain and pleasure...

And it is that for Vargas Llosa, the idea of a novel is 'the totalizing experience of the human condition.'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEl País\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The bad girl reminds one of Sabines' lovers: they seek happiness without ever finding it, because finding it would be equivalent to losing it irrevocably. This novel is highly recommended, seemingly modest, but in reality it scratches with exquisite malice at our most intimate desires and domestic frustrations.\"\u003cbr\u003eJavier Munguía, \u003ci\u003eRevista de Letras\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mario Vargas Llosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43061066268920,"sku":"9788490625927","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/products\/travesuras-de-la-nina-mala-vargas-llosa-mario-413878.jpg?v=1696456663","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/libro-travesuras-de-la-nina-mala-2","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
