There, four angry cadets who have formed an inner circle in an attempt to ward off the boredom and stifling confinement of the military academy set off a chain of events that starts with a theft and leads to murder and suicide. \u003ci\u003eThe Time of the Hero\u003c\/i\u003e presents, with great accuracy and power, the cadets' nightmare life: brutal initiation rights, poker in the latrines, drinking contests; and, above all else, the strange military code which, whether broken or followed, can only destroy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen \u003ci\u003eThe Time of the Hero\u003c\/i\u003e was first published in Peru in 1962, it was considered so scandalous that a thousand copies were burned in an official ceremony at the Leoncio Prado Military Academy.
