EDITORIAL REVIEW



Bestseller internacional y muy admirado clásico de la literatura latinoamericana, la trascendental novela de Isabel Allende cuenta la historia épica de la numerosa y turbulenta familia Trueba de Chile, con su patriarca angustiado y sus mujeres clarividentes, trazando sus vidas desde los fines del siglo pasado, hasta los días violentos del golpe que derrocó al gobierno de Salvador Allende en 1973. En La casa de los espíritus, Allende combina lo supernatural con lo real en una versión sumamente personal de realismo mágico.Es raro, el caso, en que una primera novela lanza a su autora tan repentinamente al foro internacionales.

Can't get enough

Five stars is not good enough to rate this masterpiece. I cannot recall how many times I have read this book and it does not cease to amaze me. I still cry with the death of Ferula and Clara, and laugh at Nicolas' craziness. The book is very well written and one cannot help but become one with each of the characters (my favorite will always be Transito Soto). This book has stood the test of time and has become one of my favorites. Highly recommend this book to anyone.

The House of Spirits
~ Written on Jan 9, 2007. out of 6 users found this review helpful.

I was required to read this book for my english class, and personally, I did not like it. Originally, I thought that the book was going to be about a house full of spirits, but before I read the novel, my teacher explained that it is a novel about class struggle and politics in Chile. However, after reading the book I have come to disagree. The book is really a flash back into the lives of its characters and is full of their personal stories and adventures. To me, these stories due to their graphic nature overshadow the class issues and the politics. It is not that they are not apparent, but that they are overshadowed by the gruesome acts of rape and other digusting things that should have been left out of the book. Also, to me the book becomes very monotonous. At certain parts I felt like the book was going to end, and yet I still had more than 100 pages to go. In the end I find that the rape and violence in this book overshadow its original purpose and thus degrade its value.
