El objetivo de este trabajo de fin de grado es ubicar el escritor peruano Mario Vargas Llosa, su relato “Los cachorros” y su única colección de cuentos, Los jefes, compuesta de seis cuentos: “Los jefes”, “El desafío”, “El hermano menor”, “Día domingo”, “Un visitante” y “El abuelo”, dentro del contexto del Boom latinoamericano. Asimismo, se investigan las circunstancias del Boom; el aspecto político y social de la Revolución cubana y se comentan los rasgos de “la nueva novela”, dado que es el género literario que predomina en la época del Boom. Luego, se observa el papel que tienen los elementos biográficos del escritor galardonado con el Premio Nobel, Mario Vargas Llosa, en sus obras. Después de esa contextualización detallada, se lleva a cabo un análisis del relato “Los cachorros” y la colección de cuentos Los jefes, en el que se relacionan los personajes y los espacios de los cuentos, con el motivo de violencia que es el motivo central de esas obras.
