Sinopse

A classic of magical realism and Latin American literature, The House of the Spirits is the epic and captivating story of three generations of the Trueba family. The most important work in the career of international bestseller Isabel Allende, now in hardcover.

Set in an unnamed country that could easily be Chile, the novel "The House of the Spirits" tells the story of a powerful landowning family. Initially, the despotic patriarch, Esteban Trueba, builds a personal empire with an iron fist, but everything begins to fall apart with the passage of time and the effects of an explosive social environment.

Ultimately, the patriarch's decline will drag the Trueba family into a painful disintegration, which will reflect in their private lives the political and spiritual tensions of an entire territory and an era.

With exuberant imagination and impeccable literary execution, Isabel Allende depicts the lives of her characters as an inseparable part of the collective destiny of Latin America, marked by miscegenation, social injustices, and the search for identity.

One of the most important novels of the 20th century, The House of the Spirits intertwines the personal and the political in a universal narrative of love, magic, and destiny.

"A charming, sometimes magical narrative. In its conflicted story of rebellion and love between three generations, it's an allegory in which any family should recognize a little of itself." - The Wall Street Journal
