Descrizione
작품에서는 구체적인 지명을 말하는 대신 '그 나라'라고만 지칭하고 있지만, 이 작품은 작가의 조국 칠레의 현실을 충실하게 반영하고 있다. 삼촌이었던 살바도르 아옌데 대통령의 좌파 연합 정부가 피노체트의 쿠데타로 비참하게 무너진 뒤 망명을 떠나야 했던 이사벨 아옌데는 자신이 처했던 역사의 격동기, 즉 인민정부가 들어서기 직전인 1930년대부터 피노체트 군사 쿠데타가 일어난 1973년까지 유난히 복잡하고 어려웠던 칠레의 근대사를 4대에 걸친 트루에바 집안과 델 바예 집안의 역사 속에 풀어냈다.

Este libro fue una experiencia lenta y muy rica emocionalmente.La historia sigue a varias generaciones de una familia mientras se mezclan elementos de realismo mágico con un contexto político y social muy fuerte que, por momentos, se siente todavía vigente.La narración es preciosa: la autora va entrelazando eventos, adelantando detalles del futuro y construyendo una historia donde todo termina conectado.Los personajes femeninos tienen una presencia muy poderosa, especialmente Clara, que se volvió mi favorita desde el principio.No es un libro para devorar, sino para leer con calma y dejar que su atmósfera haga efecto.
The House of the Spirits is the debut novel by the writer Isabel Allende. The book was born when Allende received news that her grandfather was dying; it began as a letter which ultimately became the starting point for the novel itself. The story contains both autobiographical elements and magical realism. It follows the Trueba family, a narrative that centers on a few main characters; nevertheless, the story also reflects a broader political context, which is highlighted during the period of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.
Initially, the book was rejected by several publishers, but starting in 1982, it became an instant success. That same year, the novel was named "Novel of the Year" in Chile. From Barcelona, the book gained worldwide acclaim, bringing Isabel Allende immense fame throughout the literary world. Today, The House of the Spirits has been translated into more than 20 languages and was adapted for the big screen in 1993.
Muy bonito libro, con una historia a ratos ligera, a ratos cruda, con dejos de Cien años de soledad. Me alegro de haberlo leído al menos una vez en la vida.
