Synopsis "Le Plan Infini (in French)"

Quittant le monde sud-américain qui lui est familier, la romancière de La Maison aux esprits nous entraîne ici dans la Californie des trente dernières années, sur les pas de deux familles d'errants: celle du prédicateur Reeves qui parcourt l'Ouest à bord d'un camion vétuste, prèchant la recherche du plan infini qui justifie nos existences; et celle des Morales, immigrés mexicains d'un quartier de Los Angeles hanté par la violence.Principal personnage du livre, le jeune Gregory Reeves verra mourir son père et parviendra à construire une carrière d'avocat, mais aussi et surtout à trouver la clef du plan infini qui n'est autre que l'amour.Guerre du Vietnam, mouvement hippie, avènement du féminisme, libération des moeurs, banalisation de la drogue, exclusion: c'est de notre temps que nous parle, au travers de personnages d'une merveilleuse humanité, une romancière décidément de stature mondiale.Un talent bondissant, qui couvre l'étendue du burlesque au tragique, une inspiration jamais à court, assortie d'une rare compassion humaine.Anne Pons, L'Express.

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. In 2018, Isabel Allende became the first Spanish-language writer awarded the medal of honor of the National Book Award, in the United States for her significant contribution to the world of letters.
