La primera y más emblemática novela de Isabel Allende, La casa de los espÃritus, cuenta la inolvidable saga de una poderosa familia latinoamericana marcada por el amor, la ambición, los secretos y el destino. Con millones de lectores en todo el mundo, esta obra maestra de la literatura contemporánea inspiró la aclamada serie de ocho episodios de Prime Video y continúa cautivando a generaciones con su mezcla única de pasión, historia y realismo mágico.
El despótico patriarca Esteban Trueba ha construido con mano de hierro un imperio privado que empieza a tambalearse con el paso del tiempo y 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 poderosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de una época que abarca gran parte del siglo XX. Con impecable pulso narrativo y gran lucidez histórica, Isabel Allende ha creado un fresco en el que conviven lo cotidiano con lo maravilloso, el amor con la revolución y los ideales personales con la dura realidad polÃtica. La crÃtica ha dicho:
«Un logro único, a la vez testimonio personal y posible alegorÃa del pasado, el presente y el futuro de América Latina. - The New York Times Book Review
«Una crónica fuerte y absorbente de una familia chilena, con detalles opulentos y con un trasfondo mÃstico... Un refinada combinación de escenarios. - Kirkus Review
«Hay muy pocos viajes más emocionantes que los realizados en la imaginación de una novelista genial. Esa experiencia está disponible en La Casa de los EspÃritus de Isabel Allende... - Cosmopolitan ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Isabel Allende's first and most iconic novel, The House of the Spirits, tells the unforgettable saga of a powerful Latin American family shaped by love, ambition, secrets, and destiny. With millions of readers worldwide, this masterpiece of contemporary literature inspired the acclaimed eight-episode Prime Video series and continues to captivate generations with its unique blend of passion, history, and magical realism. Spectacular...An absorbing and distinguished work...The House of the Spirits with its all-informing, generous, and humane sensibility, is a unique achievement, both personal witness and possible allegory of the past, present, and future of Latin America. --The New York Times Book Review The House of the Spirits, the unforgettable first novel that established Isabel Allende as one of the world's most gifted storytellers, brings to life the triumphs and tragedies of three generations of the Trueba family. The patriarch Esteban is a volatile, proud man whose voracious pursuit of political power is tempered only by his love for his delicate wife Clara, a woman with a mystical connection to the spirit world. When their daughter Blanca embarks on a forbidden love affair in defiance of her implacable father, the result is an unexpected gift to Esteban: his adored granddaughter Alba, a beautiful and strong-willed child who will lead her family and her country into a revolutionary future. One of the most important novels of the twentieth century, The House of the Spirits is an enthralling epic that spans decades and lives, weaving the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate.
