The House of the Spirits

The House of the Spirits

by Isabel Allende  •  Magda Bogin (Translator)

  • LITERATURE
  • 1993
  • PAPER
  • 433 PAGES

A remarkably imagined tale of four generations, much in the spirit of Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, centered on a land-owning tyrant, and his wife, daughter and grandchild. It's the first novel by Allende -- a cousin of Salvador Allende, the leader killed by Pinochet -- a sprawling work of real and imagined events that follows the extended Trueba clan from the turn of the 20th century to 1973.  (CHI02, $16.00)
