Synopsis "La Casa de los Espiritus (in Spanish)"

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 protagonistas de esta portentosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de toda una época. Con ternura e impecable factura literaria, Isabel Allende perfila el destino de sus personajes como parte indisoluble del destino colectivo de América Latina, marcado por el mestizaje, las injusticias sociales y la búsqueda de la propia identidad.

«Este libro tuvo para mí el efecto de un tifón: me elevó en el aire, me sacudió hasta los huesos, me arrancó de una existencia mediocre y me lanzó hacia un horizonte abierto de infinitas posibilidades. En los cuarenta años transcurridos desde entonces he sufrido pérdidas, dolores y duelos, he cambiado de países y de maridos, también he acumulado mucho éxito, lo que suele trastornar a las personas, pero nada me ha hecho perder mi centro, porque la escritura es mi brújula. Todo lo que me duele acaba trasmutado en la alquimia de la literatura.»
Isabel Allende
