A partir de sus propias vivencias, este libro es una clase magistral para todo aquel que desee iniciar su propio viaje literario. «La literatura es mágica: armar una historia es un proceso misterioso,

de las palabras. La palabra mágica es mucho más que una guÃa de escritura, es una conversación. Isabel Allende comparte los triunfos, errores y aprendizajes que los desafÃos y las alegrÃas le han brindado a lo largo de los años. A partir de sus propias vivencias, este libro es una clase magistral para todo aquel que desee iniciar su propio viaje literario. «La literatura es mágica: armar una historia es un proceso misterioso,
orgánico, instintivo. Al escribir entro en la dimensión de los
sueños, la intuición, las premoniciones; debo rendirme y dejar que
los personajes hagan lo que tienen que hacer y que la historia se
cuente a sà misma. Paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo sola y en
silencio, como un monje en su celda. Escribir es como meditar. En
la soledad recuerdo, escucho voces, tengo visiones. Mientras más
callada estoy, más oigo y más veo. En el silencio de la escritura a
veces me visitan espÃritus -- o serán las musas?--. Lo siento como
un roce en la nuca. Al escribir me transformo en médium. La escritura
para mà no es una opción, es una adicción . - Isabel Allende ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A vibrant book about the craft of writing,
the magic of creation, and the enduring power
of words. The Magic Word is much more than a writing guide--it is a conversation. Isabel Allende shares the triumphs, mistakes, and lessons that challenges and joys have brought her over the years. Drawing from her own experiences, this book is a master class for anyone who wishes to begin their own literary journey. Literature is magical: shaping a story is a mysterious, organic, instinctive process. When I write, I enter the realm of dreams, intuition, and premonitions; I must surrender and allow the characters to do what they need to do and let the story tell itself. I spend most of my time alone and in silence, like a monk in her cell. Writing is like meditating. In solitude, I remember, I hear voices, I have visions. The quieter I am, the more I hear and the more I see. In the silence of writing, spirits sometimes visit me--or perhaps they are muses?--I feel it as a brush against the nape of my neck. When I write, I become a medium. Writing for me is not an option; it is an addiction. -- Isabel Allende
