Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. (Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)Chilean writer Isabel Allendes classic novel is both a richly symbolic family saga and the riveting story of an unnamed Latin American countrys turbulent history.In a triumph of magic realism, Allende constructs a spirit-ridden world and fills it with colorful and all-too-human inhabitants. The Trueba familys passions, struggles, and secrets span three generations and a century of violent social change, culminating in a crisis that brings the proud and tyrannical patriarch and his beloved granddaughter to opposite sides of the barricades. Against a backdrop of revolution and counterrevolution, Allende brings to life a family whose private bonds of love and hatred are more complex and enduring than the political allegiances that set them at odds. The House of the Spirits not only brings another nations history thrillingly to life, but also makes its peoples joys and anguishes wholly our own. Here, in an astonishing debut by a gifted storyteller, is the magnificent saga of proud and passionate men and women and the turbulent times through which they suffer and triumph. They are the Truebas. And theirs is a world you will not want to leave, and one you will not forget. Esteban — The patriarch, a volatile and proud man whose lust for land is legendary and who is haunted by his tyrannical passion for the wife he can never completely possess. Clara — The matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foretells family tragedy and shapes the fortunes of the house of the Truebas. Blanca — Their daughter, soft-spoken yet rebellious, whose shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's everlasting contempt. even as it produces the grandchild he adores. Alba — The fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a luminous bearty, a fiery and willful woman. the family's break with the past and link to the future. "From the Paperback edition.
