The mischievous child's devilish acts, Al-Jamal posts

Author's name: Mario Vargas Llosa Publisher: Al-Jamal Publications for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2022 Literary classification: Novel About the book: "Al-Jamal Publications" announced the imminent release of a second edition of the novel "The Mischiefs of the Naughty Girl" by Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa, the author of political epics, who combines in his novels disparate worlds: sex, adventures, fantasy, visual art, conspiracies, revolutions... in a narrative mix full of suspense and surprises. The novel, translated into Arabic by the late translator Saleh Alamani, revolves around the good boy and the naughty girl. The good boy is Ricardo, who works as a translator at the United Nations, and the naughty girl, whose names are countless like her characters. Ricardo met the naughty girl in Lima, but she disappeared completely after a short time, only to reappear ten years later in Paris, where she became involved in politics. Their meetings recur due to the work of the good boy, who travels frequently, and they meet in multiple countries: France, Spain, and Britain. The lives of the two characters progress from adolescence to old age, accompanying each other on a forty-year journey, during which fate insists on bringing them together again, each time in a different place, maintaining an extraordinary relationship that combines love and madness of desires. Behind this relationship, and through the details of her madness and his, all the events of the twentieth century pass in the background. The Iraqi writer, the late Saad Mahmoud Raheem, wrote: "It is a novel about love first. The fierce, overwhelming, blind love that takes over the heart and mind, feeling and unconsciousness, for forty years, like a dormant germ in the blood and marrow, like a curse... Love for one woman alone, as in Florentino Ariza's case in Gabriel García Márquez's novel 'Love in the Time of Cholera,' who waits half a century for his beloved, who has become tired of him and married a doctor. He waits all this time to renew his vow of loyalty and love... when? When he reaches seventy-five. He spends these years with hundreds of women, with his eyes fixed on Fermina Daza, whom he wishes her husband would die, so he can repeat the cycle and declare his old love." It is worth noting that Mario Vargas Llosa, born in Peru in 1936, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, and is considered one of the greatest Latin American writers. He has numerous works including: "The Time of the Hero," "The Way to Paradise," and "The End of the World War."
