Isabel Allende Books Overview

Daughter of Fortune

Orphaned at birth, Eliza Sommers is raised in the British colony of Valpara so, Chile, by the well intentioned Victorian spinster Miss Rose and her more rigid brother Jeremy. Just as she meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaqu n Andieta, a lowly clerk who works for Jeremy, gold is discovered in the hills of northern California. By 1849, Chileans of every stripe have fallen prey to feverish dreams of wealth. Joaqu n takes off for San Francisco to seek his fortune, and Eliza, pregnant with his child, decides to follow him. So begins Isabel Allende’s enchanting new novel, Daughter of Fortune, her most ambitious work of fiction yet. As we follow her spirited hero*ine on a perilous journey north in the hold of a ship to the rough and tumble world of San Francisco and northern California, we enter a world whose newly arrived inhabitants are driven mad by gold fever. A society of single men and prostitutes among whom Eliza moves with the help of her good friend and savior, the Chinese doctor Tao Chien California opens the door to a new life of freedom and independence for the young Chilean. Her search for the elusive Joaqu n gradually turns into another kind of journey that transforms her over time, and what began as a search for love ends up as the conquest of personal freedom. By the time she finally hears news of him, Eliza must decide who her true love really is. Daughter of Fortune is a sweeping portrait of an era, a story rich in character, history, violence, and compassion. In Eliza, Allende has created one of her most appealing hero*ines, an adventurous, independent minded, and highly unconventional young woman who has the courage to reinvent herself and to create her own destiny in a new country. A marvel of storytelling, Daughter of Fortune confirms once again Isabel Allende’s extraordinary gift for fiction and her place as one of the world’s leading writers.

Zorro

A swashbuckling adventure story that reveals for the first time how Diego de la Vega became the masked man we all know so well. ‘Until that moment Diego had not been conscious of his dual personality, one part Diego de la Vega, elegant, affected, hypochondriac, and the other part El Zorro, audacious, daring, playful.’ Born in southern California late in the 18th century, Diego de la Vega is a child of two worlds.

Island Beneath the Sea

Born a slave on the island of Saint Domingue, Zarit known as T t is the daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who brought her into bondage. Though her childhood is one of brutality and fear, T t finds solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and in the voodoo loas she discovers through her fellow slaves. When twenty year old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, it’s with powdered wigs in his baggage and dreams of financial success in his mind. But running his father s plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy. It will be eight years before he brings home a bride but marriage, too, proves more difficult than he imagined. And Valmorain remains dependent on the services of his teenaged slave. Spanning four decades, Island Beneath the Sea is the moving story of the intertwined lives of T t and Valmorain, and of one woman s determination to find love amid loss, to offer humanity though her own has been battered, and to forge her own identity in the cruellest of circumstances.

The Stories of Eva Luna

Isabel Allende now ranks as one of the world’s most beloved authors. In 1988, she introduced the world to Eva Luna, in a novel of the same name that recounted the adventurous life of a poor young Latin American woman who finds friendship, love, and some measure of worldly success through her powers as a storyteller. Her most ambitious novel up to that time, Eva Luna was described by the Washington Post as ‘a cascade of stories that tumbles out before the reader, stories vivid, passionate and human.’ Returning to this tale by popular demand, Allende unveiled The Stories of Eva Luna in 1991. A treasure trove of brilliantly crafted tales, the book showed us once again why Eva Luna and her much celebrated creator have won such a large and devoted readership. We begin with Rolf Carl , the European refugee, journalist, and lover who figured so largely in Eva Luna. Lying in bed with Eva Luna, he asks her to tell him a story. ‘What about?’ she asks. ‘Tell me a story you have never told anyone before. Make it up for me.’ And so she does, giving Rolf Carl and the reader twenty three vibrant, enchanting demonstrations of her artistry. Here are compesinos and rich people, guerrillas and fortune tellers, great beauties and tyrants, the foreign rendered indelibly familiar. Here is Clarisa, ‘born before the city had electricity, she lived to see television coverage of the first astronaut levitating on the moon, and she died of amazement when the Pope came for a visit and was met in the street by homosexuals dressed up as nuns’; here is El Capit n, who waited for forty years before proposing to his dancing partner; Horacio Fortunato, a circus owner and entrepreneur, whose encounter with a languid foreign woman will force him to change his roguish ways even as he attempts to court her; Maurizia Rugieri, who abandons her husband and child for a young medical student, converting their life together into an opera of her own design; Nicholas Vidal, who ‘had always known that a woman would cost him his life’ but never suspected that it would be the wife of Judge Hidalgo; Raid Halbi, once again displaying his concern and wisdom for the people of Agua Santa; Marcia Liberman, the wife of a European diplomat, whose brief affair with the President for Life of an unnamed Latin American country has startling rewards…
Love, vengeance, nostalgia, compassion, irony Isabel Allende leaves no emotion untouched in these stories. Opulently imagined, stirringly told, they confirm her place as one of the world’s leading writers.

Paula

With an enchanting blend of magical realism, politics, and romance reminiscent of her classic bestseller The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende presents a soul baring memoir that seizes the reader like a novel of suspense.

Written for her daughter Paula when she became ill and slipped into a coma, Paula is the colorful story of Allende’s life from her early years in her native Chile, through the turbulent military coup of 1973, to the subsequent dictatorship and her family’s years of exile. In the telling, bizarre ancestors reveal themselves, delightful and bitter childhood memories surface, enthralling anecdotes of youthful years are narrated and intimate secrets are softly whispered.

In an exorcism of death and a celebration of life, Isabel Allende explores the past, questions the gods, and creates a magical book that carries the reader from tears to laughter, from terror to sensuality to wisdom. In Paula, readers will come to understand that the miraculous world of her novels is the world Isabel Allende inhabits it is her enchanted reality.

Mothers and Sons

This unique volume offers insights on each phase of the relationship between mother & baby. Captures the compelling connections between mothers & sons & translates those subtle emotions into deceptively simple photos. The sharp focus squarely on the telling facial expression or body language makes the seemingly ordinary wholly original. The famous among them Bill Clinton, Mary Higgins Clark, Steven Spielberg, & Ruth Bader Ginsburg & the obscure get the same attentive treatment. In the accompanying texts, mothers & sons reveal their most trying & their most exalted moments with candor & humor. ‘This is a powerful tribute in both words & images to the unique yet universal relationship between mothers & sons.’

Conversations with Isabel Allende

From reviews of the first edition: ‘…
Allende has led a life full of drama, passion, and history one that is a novela in its own right. Now a book, Conversations with Isabel Allende, gives fans the inside story as told by Allende herself…
. This is worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a good writer tick.’ Latina ‘Notoriously cavalier about the lines between fact, memory, and the storyteller’s urge to keep the listener going, Allende embellishes or withholds wherever she pleases. Serious subjects are discussed and dealt with seriously, but there is plenty of laughter and evidence of the woman’s appealing optimism and sense of play, whimsy, and charm.’ Bloomsbury Review ‘ This is a rich, entertaining, and informative look at the life in progress and work of an extraordinary woman.’ Virginia Quarterly Review ‘ Readers will find themselves enthralled with the fascinating story of a politically committed and dedicated writer, mother, and wife.’ School Library Journal ‘Her fans will love the Isabel who comes across so well spoken here.’ Booklist This revised edition has been updated to cover Allende’s three newest books City of the Beasts, Portrait in Sepia: A Novel, and Daughter of Fortune. It includes four new interviews in which Allende discusses completing her trilogy of novels that began with House of the Spirits, as well as her ongoing spiritual adventure and political interests.

My Invented Country: A Nostalgic Journey Through Chile

Isabel Allende’s first memory of Chile is of a house she never knew. The ‘large old house’ on the Calle Cueto, where her mother was born and which her grandfather evoked so frequently that Isabel felt as if she had lived there, became the protagonist of her first novel, The House of the Spirits. It appears again at the beginning of Allende’s playful, seductively compelling memoir My Invented Country, and leads us into this gifted writer’s world. Here are the almost mythic figures of a Chilean family grandparents and great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends with whom readers of Allende’s fiction will feel immediately at home. And here, too, is an unforgettable portrait of a charming, idiosyncratic Chilean people with a violent history and an indomitable spirit. Although she claims to have been an outsider in her native land ‘I never fit in anywhere, not into my family, my social class, or the religion fate bestowed on me’ Isabel Allende carries with her even today the mark of the politics, myth, and magic of her homeland. In My Invented County, she explores the role of memory and nostalgia in shaping her life, her books, and that most intimate connection to her place of origin. Two life altering events inflect the peripatetic narration of this book: The military coup and violent death of her uncle, Salvador Allende Gossens, on September 11, 1973, sent her into exile and transformed her into a writer. The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, on her newly adopted homeland, the United States, brought forth from Allende an overdue acknowledgment that she had indeed left home. My Invented Country, whose structure mimics the workings of memory itself, ranges back and forth across that distance accrued between the author’s past and present lives. It speaks compellingly to immigrants, and to all of us, who try to retain a coherent inner life in a world full of contradictions.

The Sum of Our Days

In this heartfelt memoir, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of tragic loss the death of her daughter, Paula. Recalling the past thirteen years from the daily letters the author and her mother, who lives in Chile, wrote to each other, Allende bares her soul in a book that is as exuberant and full of life as its creator. She recounts the stories of the wildly eccentric, strong minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her that becomes a new kind of family. Throughout, Allende shares her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory. Here, too, are the amazing stories behind Allende’s books, the superstitions that guide her writing process, and her adventurous travels. Ultimately, The Sum of Our Days offers a unique tour of this gifted writer s inner world and of the relationships that have become essential to her life and her work. Narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor, and wisdom, The Sum of Our Days is a portrait of a contemporary family, bound together by the love, fierce loyalty, and stubborn determination of a beloved, indomitable matriarch.
