Isabel Allende
La Casa Degli Spiriti

A story, a circle that closes, characters and events that remain etched in the memory and make us feel emotions from the very first pages of this magnificent book. Magic and history swap roles, creating a combination of sensations that are not easily forgotten.

Esteban Trueba, authoritarian family patriarch and true symbol of a conservative generation, will accompany us on this long journey through the history of a country, Chile, in constant political and social change, clashing with it and with the new ideologies arriving from the rest of the West. Every character, even the most marginal, is endowed with a masterful characterization that makes them unique in our eyes, from the sharecroppers working at Tres Marías to the members of the Trueba family.

From splendor to decay, not of the characters, but of an era now past, made up of forbidden loves, spiritism, and tales.
