In \u003cem\u003eTales of Eva Luna\u003c\/em\u003e , 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eLove, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"A selection of short stories to be read aloud, memorized, and retold for generations. \u003cem\u003eTales of Eva Luna\u003c\/em\u003e is a captivating, vigorous, and enchanting work.\" - \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “Risk of death, risk of passionate love, conviction and honor.
