Irene Beltrán is a force to be reckoned with. As a magazine journalist, an unusual profession for a woman with her privileged upbringing, she is constantly challenging the oppressive regime.

In the late 1930s, civil war grips Spain. When General Franco and his Fascists succeed in overthrowing the government, hundreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the mountains to the French border.

Aurora del Valle suffers a brutal trauma that erases from her mind all recollection of the first five years of her life.

When she is forced to recognize her betrayal at the hands of the man she loves, and to cope with the resulting solitude, she decides to explore the mystery of her past.

Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of the tragic death of her daughter, Paula. Narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor, and wisdom, this remarkable memoir is as exuberant and as full of life as its creator. Allende bares her soul while sharing her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory - and recounts stories of the wildly eccentric, strong-minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her and lovingly embraces as a new kind of family.

Though she was born into poverty, Inés Suárez, a seamstress in 16th-century Spain, embodies the same restless hope and opportunism that fuels her nation’s conquest of the Americas.

It is a journey will lead her to Pedro de Valdivia - a conquistador who becomes the first royal governor of Chile - and to a love that not only changes her life but the course of history.

Like Allende’s first novel, The House of the Spirits, this powerful memoir is infused with the real, the magical, and the spiritual, creating a haunting, sad, and beautiful tale.

Just as she meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaquín 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. Joaquín takes off for San Francisco to seek his fortune, and Eliza, pregnant with his child, decides to follow him.

“L’ardore di quel bacio non li abbandonò per molti giorni e riempì di fantasmi delicati le loro notti”. Due giovani, Irene e Francisco, indagano sulla scomparsa di una ragazzina. Tra loro nasce una grande passione, pervasa dall’angoscia del potere militare che incombe. Come già accadeva in La casa degli spiriti, questo romanzo di Isabel Allende usa come sfondo l’inquieto scenario della società cilena, ma la storia che ci narra acquista subito un tono originale e diverso da quello che caratterizzava il romanzo precedente.

Însă Inés se hotărăşte să-şi regăsească soţul, plecat la război dincolo de Ocean, şi astfel tânăra ajunge în Americi, unde o aşteaptă o nouă iubire, dar şi o viaţă plină de lupte grele şi rare momente de fericire. Alături de căpitanul Pedro de Valvidia, această eroină a Spaniei de care istoria s-a ocupat atât de puţin ajunge adevărata întemeietoare a Regatului Chile.
