Summary

La primera novela de Isabel Allende, La casa de los espíritus, narra la saga de una poderosa familia de terratenientes latinoamericanos.

Este audiolibro incluye dedicatoria, agradecimientos y prefacio narrados por Isabel Allende.

El despótico patriarca Esteban Trueba ha construido con mano de hierro un imperio privado que empieza a tambalearse con el paso del tiempo y un entorno social explosivo. Finalmente, la decadencia personal del patriarca arrastrará a los Trueba a una dolorosa desintegración. Atrapados en unas dramáticas relaciones familiares, los personajes de esta poderosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de una época que abarca gran parte del siglo XX.

Con impecable pulso narrativo y gran lucidez histórica, Isabel Allende ha creado un fresco en el que conviven lo cotidiano con lo maravilloso, el amor con la revolución y los ideales personales con la dura realidad política.

Reseña:
«Un logro único, a la vez testimonio personal y posible alegoría del pasado, el presente y el futuro de América Latina.»
The New York Times Book Review

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

This is a weak imitation of Márquez in his worst writing fase. But I kept on listening it because the novel is beautifully written. Narrators are extraordinary. The last chapter was like a caricature of the whole stuff, very thin and disappointing. Never again Allende!

i enjoyed very much the story. In its first half, it bears several similarities with Cien años de soledad, in that the narration and the style are similar.
The narration has a good pace that keeps the reader involved with the content.

Beautiful and captivating story

Some parts will be hard to hear, the violence women had to endured. But this is a MUST read particularly if you are from LatinAmerica

what a masterpiece

Loved the introductory story line but towards the end, it got a little heavy, for me, considering it probably reflects the real history of the time and place...

Nice beginning but a bit heavy towards the end...

Esta historia ya de por sí es increíble y la narración de este audio libro te ayuda tanto a meterte dentro de la historia y vivir cada momento como si lo hubieses vivido tu mismo.
