Sinopse

Filled with magical realism and passion, Tales of Eva Luna has a new edition with a new cover. New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende revisits memorable characters in these stories.

In Eva Luna , Isabel Allende narrates the adventurous life of a young Latin American woman who finds friendship, love, and success in the world thanks to her talents as a storyteller. In Tales of Eva Luna , the author once again presents us with a precious treasure. In this memorable collection, we rediscover several characters familiar to readers of this masterful work, such as Rolf Carlé, the photographer marked by the horrors of war, Riad Halabí, the compassionate Arab, the teacher Ines, and the Benefactor. But Allende's prodigious imagination also introduces us to new characters, such as the lonely girl who falls in love with her mother's lover and the old woman abandoned for half a century in the basement of a house—rescued with her white hair dragging on the floor and blind from straining her eyes in the darkness.

Love, revenge, nostalgia, compassion, irony, death, lust, and greed are some of the ingredients in these stories. A fine narrative thread provides unity. The tone is always restrained, almost secretive, in contrast to the rich imagery, the lush landscape, and the extravagant passions that determine the characters' fates. These are twenty-three memorable short stories that, as always, Isabel Allende wrote with exquisite precision and a profound understanding of the human soul. Written in 1987, these stories confirm Isabel Allende as one of the most admired writers in the world.
