Synopsis "La Casa de los Espiritus"

La Casa de los Espíritus de Isabel Allende: primera novela de Allende, narra la saga de una poderosa familia de terratenientes latinoamericanos. El despótico patriarca Esteban Trueba ha construido, con mano de hierro, un imperio privado que empieza a tambalearse a raíz del paso del tiempo y de un entorno social explosivo. Finalmente, la decadencia personal del patriarca arrastrará a los Trueba a una dolorosa desintegración. Atrapados en unas dramáticas relaciones familiares, los personajes de esta portentosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de una época que abarca gran parte de este siglo. La casa de los espíritus ha sido adaptada al cine en una película protagonizada, entre otros, por Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep y Antonio Banderas. Con ternura e impecable factura literaria, Isabel Allende perfila el destino de sus personajes como parte indisoluble del destino colectivo de un continente, marcado por el mestizaje, las injusticias sociales y la búsqueda de la propia.

Isabel Allende was born in 1942, in Peru, spent her early childhood in Chile and lived in various places during her adolescence and youth. After the military coup in 1973 in Chile, she went into exile in Venezuela and since 1987 has lived as an immigrant in California. She defines herself as an "eternal foreigner."

She began her literary career in journalism, in Chile and Venezuela. In 1982 her first novel, The House of the Spirits, became one of the legendary titles of Latin American literature. It was followed by many others, all of which have been international successes. Her work has been translated into forty languages and has sold more than seventy million copies, making her the best-selling Spanish-language writer.

She has received more than sixty international awards, including the Chilean National Literature Prize in 2010, the Hans Christian Andersen Award in Denmark, in 2012, for her trilogy "Memories of the Eagle and the Jaguar" and the Medal of Freedom in the United States, the highest civilian honor, in 2014.
