Sinopse

Commemorative edition of the 35th anniversary of the release of the classic.

Through a routine report, a strange world, hidden by official history, is revealed to Irene, a journalist from an aristocratic family, and Francisco, a photographer and son of an anarchist professor, making them feel morally responsible for the cruel events that unfold. In the shadow of power and abuse, and increasingly pressured by injustice and hatred, they see their love for each other develop as a counterforce. But are they willing to risk everything in the name of justice and truth, in a country where arbitrary detentions and summary executions are commonplace?

In Of Love and Shadows , the classic follow-up to the international bestseller The House of the Spirits , imagination and reality run parallel, achieving the perfection of an indisputable literary masterpiece, as well as a moving historical testimony to the tragic situation that, sadly, still exists in certain regions of Latin America. Here, Isabel Allende narrates situations both real and imaginary, always highlighting the drama and deepening the meaning of the events. The book was adapted for the cinema in 1994, starring Jennifer Connelly and Antonio Banderas.

"This is a novel about the institutionalization of violence, the kind perpetrated by authoritarian regimes; it is about human rights and their loss, and the difficulty of documenting that loss as a way of raising the collective consciousness of the world." - Los Angeles Times

"Isabel Allende knows that, in the end, it's the people, not the issues, that really matter. The people in Of Love and Shadow are so real, their triumphs and defeats so true to the truth of human existence, that they make us see the world in miniature. And that's precisely what fiction should do." - The Washington Post
