Review

"Extraordinary... Powerful... Sharply observant, witty and eloquent." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

"Mesmerizing... A novel of force and charm." -- The Washington Post

"That rarest of successes -- a book about one family and one country that is a book about the world and becomes the world in a book." -- Cosmopolitan

"Nothing short of astonishing... In The House Of The Spirits Isabelle Allende has indeed shown us the relationships between past and present, family and nation, city and country, spiritual and political values. She has done so with enormous imagination, sensitivity, and compassion." -- Jane Futcher, San Francisco Chronicle


Product Description

Here, in an astonishing debut by a gifted storyteller, is the magnificent saga of proud and passionate men and women and the turbulent times through which they suffer and triumph. They are the Truebas. And theirs is a world you will not want to leave, and one you will not forget.

Esteban -- The patriarch, a volatile and proud man whose lust for land is legendary and who is haunted by his tyrannical passion for the wife he can never completely possess.

Clara -- The matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foretells family tragedy and shapes the fortunes of the house of the Truebas.

Blanca -- Their daughter, soft-spoken yet rebellious, whose shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's everlasting contempt... even as it produces the grandchild he adores.

Alba -- The fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a luminous bearty, a fiery and willful woman... the family's break with the past and link to the future.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Allende does it again, Mars 4 2004
Par L. D. Widmer "a reader" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
When an author is able to take a far-fetched idea and pull it together into a plausible story, I'm usually smitten. Call me smitten. Isabel Allende builds a beautiful, dramatic tale of spirits, powers, family and love into The House of Spirits. She chronicles the life of her ancestors and their mystical powers in a tale that's heartbreaking as well as uplifting. Only Allende has been able to carry off this combination, in my opinion.

The story is strong, if not a tad too long. In typical Allende style, the book is wrapped in beautiful, poetic description. It's a strong showing by a strong author.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Sweeping epic, Janv. 6 2004
This book is a sweeping epic, spanning decades in the history of an unnamed South American country, following the life of one family. While the story is gripping, the sheer volume may leave the reader feeling that episodes and characters throughout the book don't receive as much attention as one would want.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Isabel's Voice is In There Somewhere, Janv. 4 2004
Isabel Allende is a fantastic storyteller, and she probably deserves the million of dollars she got for this. The characters are well developed, and this story is a rich and mystical concoction hovering halfway between fairy-tale and political polemic. It is a beautiful and sensuous piece of writing, and is often hailed as a supreme example of the school of magical realism.

The problem is that Allende's own voice is stifled by that of Gabriel Garcia Marques, and there are too many of his opinions, descriptions, sentiments, and even characters echoing through the work. I doubt very much that Allende is a true magical realist in the way she would like us to believe: most of the 'magical' aspects of the novel have direct parallels in Garcia's One Hundered Years of Solitude. If Garcia Marques is the Master, then Allende makes a poor apprentice: there is none of the easy blending, the merging of Divine and Profane; the sense of ruined beauty which infuses Garcia Marques' prose. What we see in The House of the Spirits is flattery and hero-worship in the form of clumsy imitation.

Nevertheless, this is a book that could only come from Latin America: it is fantastic, rich, and extremely pleasing if it were possible to consider it in isolation. The genius and originality shines through in Allende's canny treatment of her characters - where even the monsters are described compassionately. The final chapters, based no doubt on Allende's personal experience of the Chile's military coup are the most brilliant and moving, and reflect the pain, endurance and tremendous resilience of a whole generation of Chilean women. It is Allende's lyrical feminism, and redeeming compassion, which makes this novel truly great. But she should have trusted her own voice. It's a beautiful one.
