Andarnas Hus
Den mytomspunna romanen Andarnas hus är dels en familjekrönika, dels en historisk skildring av ett icke namngivet latinamerikanskt land under 1900-talet. I centrum för berättelsen står Esteban Trueba, patriark och jordägare som så småningom väljer att kandidera till presidentposten. Férula, hans syster, är den som tar hand om deras mor och sköter egendomen. Clara, Estebans eteriska och undflyende hustru står i kontakt med förfädernas andar. Esteban och Clara blir föräldrar till den upproriska Blanca, flickan som gör som hon vill och föder dottern Alba, frukten av Blancas förhållande med förmannen på familjen Truebas ägor.Berättelsen börjar som ett brev till Allendes döende farfar och skrevs under tiden Allende levde i exil i Venezuela. På omvägar fick Isabel Allende höra talas om den legendariska agenten Carmen Balcells i Barcelona och skickade sitt manus dit med post.Mer än fyra decennier har gått sedan Isabel Allende debuterade med den episka Andarnas hus, romanen som blev en enorm succé världen över.Resten är litteraturhistoria, och ett stort författarskap var fött. Andarnas hushar idag översatts till mer än fyrtio språk och Isabel Allende anses vara en av världslitteraturens främsta författare.

Paula
'Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful.'--Los Angeles Times In this literary classic, New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende recalls the story of her beloved daughter and her remarkable family's past. When her daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, Isabel Allende began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. Bizarre ancestors are introduced; delightful and bitter childhood memories are shared; amazing anecdotes of youthful years are relived, and the most intimate secrets are quietly passed along. 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.
