Description Concering Books The Stories of Eva Luna

Isabel Allende is 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 young Latin American woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. Returning to this tale, Allende presents The Stories of Eva Luna, a treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories.
Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carlé, Eva answers his request for a story "you have never told anyone before" with these twenty-three samples of her vibrant artistry. Interweaving the real and the magical, she explores love, vengeance, compassion, and the strengths of women, creating a world that is at once poignantly familiar and intriguingly new.
Rendered in the sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style of one of the world's most stunning writers, The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allende's work. It is not to be missed by anyone -- whether a devotee of Ms. Allende's oeuvre or a new acquaintance to her work.

Criticism Of Books The Stories of Eva Luna

Started last night... I rescued this book from the local transfer station(dump) used goods trailer. Never read any of this author's work but I've heard of her of course. Niece(once removed) of Salvador, socialist President of Chile. It didn't end well, of course. Chile, the craziest country in the world geography-wise. A thousand miles long and a hundred wide(more or less). Inside the front cover is a sticker that say's "Ex libris" above the nib of a fountain pen and in small print below the



I've been talking about these as I read along. The last two were not to my taste (and that's true for a few others as well), but overall, the stories were compelling and vividly told. From a writer's perspective, I appreciated that these were told as *tales*. I see a lot of focus these days on character development, interiority, etc., and that's great: we're interested, as people, in other people's interior lives and how character is defined and so on. But I have a great love of plain old

I adore Isabel Allende, and her beautiful mystical prose style. Like a more modern Scheherazade, Eva Luna tells stories that range from the tragic to the comical and encompasses the spectrum of human existence. A wonderful read for anyone who enjoys the South American mystical realism genre that Allende so encompasses.

This book is such a difficult one for me; I can appreciate its quality but would be lying if I'd say that I particularly enjoyed it. In addition, it was a gift! I've never been given a book and having to feel guilty for not liking it all that much. But yes, it was a gift - and that makes it special. Why? Because it has been years since anyone has given me the most obvious choice of gift: a book. Perhaps my mind is simply not ready for this kind of book. I have never been one to particularly

A beautiful and immersive collection of stories. None felt too much like another and each one enthralled me more than the next. Isabel Allende has earned a reputation for her talent and with good reason!

This is, as they say. not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.The writing was quite good. There were one or two lovely stories. The other 21 fixated on child sex abuse and the idea that disabled people are better off dead.I really need to get a rubber stamp that says ABLEIST TRASH.But yeah, no. It was terrific. I loved it.
