Sinopse

Isabel Allende's greatest success, The House of the Spirits, is a classic of magical realism and Latin American literature. The work brings to life a family whose private bonds of love and hate are more complex and enduring than the political loyalties that pit them against each other.

The House of the Spirits is both an emblematic family saga and a tale of a turbulent period in the history of a nondescript Latin American country. Isabel Allende builds a world driven by spirits and fills it with expressive and very human inhabitants, including Esteban, the patriarch, a volatile and proud man whose desire for land is legendary and who lives haunted by the tyrannical passion he feels for the wife he can never fully possess; Clara, the matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foresees family tragedy and shapes the fate of the house and the Truebas; Blanca, her soft-spoken but rebellious daughter, whose shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's eternal contempt, even when it results in the granddaughter he so adores; and Alba, the fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a fiery, stubborn woman endowed with luminous beauty.

The passions, struggles, and secrets of the Trueba family span three generations and a century of violent transformations, culminating in a crisis that drives the patriarch and his beloved granddaughter to opposite sides of the barricades. Known as a masterpiece of Latin American literature, The House of the Spirits presents a compelling narrative that seamlessly and elegantly weaves together past, present, and future. Isabel Allende presents us with characters rich in emotion and meticulous details about the world around them. A timeless novel inspired by the author's own family, it is certainly a book that deserves to be on every reader's bookshelf.
