{"product_id":"de-amor-e-de-sombra-1","title":"OF LOVE AND SHADOW","description":"THE BOOK \"This is the story of a woman and a man who loved each other completely, thus saving themselves from a common existence. I have carried it in my memory, preserving it so that time would not wear it away, and it is only now, in the silent nights of this place, that I can finally tell it. I will do it for him and for others who entrusted their lives to me, saying: take it, write it, so that the wind does not erase them.\" (Isabel Allende) Of Love and Shadows, now in its 12th edition, reveals itself to be a moving novel. This story begins where The House of the Spirits ends: during the far-right military coup that ousted President Salvador Allende from power in 1973. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the love story of Francisco and Irene, two young journalists living in Chile, oppressed by the violence of the military dictatorship. The daughter of a traditional family, Irene lives alienated from the reality that has taken hold of the country, and Francisco is an exiled Spanish photographer. Upon discovering an abandoned mine where the military hides the bodies of political prisoners killed in the basements of Chilean prisons, Irene and Francisco risk their lives to save the persecuted and raise funds to alleviate their hunger. More than simply a tale of a romance between a man and a woman, in Of Love and Shadows, Isabel Allende speaks to us of love in its broadest sense, one in which solidarity and detachment are combined. THE AUTHOR Isabel Allende, although Chilean, was born in Lima, the Peruvian capital, in 1942. At the age of 17, she began an intense career as a journalist and writer. In 1982, she published *The House of the Spirits*, which immediately established her as one of the most brilliant Spanish-language writers, placing her among the most translated Latin American authors. Isabel Allende's dazzling literary career continued with Eva Luna, The Infinite Plan, Paula, Letters to Paula, Afrodite, Daughter of Fortune, and Portrait in Sepia, all published by Bertrand Brasil. The author currently resides in the United States, in Sausalito, California, with her husband, William Gordon.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176884683004,"sku":"9788528604658","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/69c591eb0cabf8ecdd2ff01e2878c895_80b6e211-3a30-4cb9-828e-ca1725f83f46.jpg?v=1776901822","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/de-amor-e-de-sombra-1","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
