Snag A Casa Dos Espíritos Documented By Isabel Allende Accessible In Publication
التي لا تستطيع تحديد من من شخصياتها هو الأحب لقلبك هي رواية رائعة بالتأكيد. A historical and fantastic novel, I admit that it left me perplexed and that I started reading this intrigued, not sure of liking, Well, I won! This mix of genres, coupled with Isabel Allende's talents as a storyteller, takes us to a South American country Chile is never named from the beginning of theth century to the dictatorship.
So many subjects had discussed, and the characters are very complex the magic is present without heaviness, An interesting and pleasant reading! Gabriel Garcia Marquez comparisons aside, it's hard to review this book without references to the magical realism and the narrative styles of Latin America,
I truly believe that anyone not familiar with the above mentioned, would likely be a bit thrown, even put off by these influences, Still, this is a brilliantly written story, epic in its truest sense, Covering four generations of women with a man as the common thread between them, it races through the simplicity of the old world into the complexity of an increasingly global existance and the insistance that this country enter into the morphing global economy and political stage.
The true classics know how to do one particular thing very well: They are able to capture the reader with the emotive ties to the characters in a microcosm while placing them in a grander milestone setting, historically.
Many stories have attempted this balance and fall short in one aspect or another, Either the personal attachment is emphasized at the expense of the historical detail, or the historical events are diluted to platform the characters, In this case, both are developed successfully because we are introduced and weaned on to the family first and then become involved in their plight as gradually as they do.
Political upheaval grew into their lives the way it grew into the narration,
It's also important to mention that by definition, this won't be a political struggle that most of the captalist population will be familiar with, Some background knowledge of the history of Chile does come in handy, especially when references are thrown in enigmatically, "The Poet" is mentioned sporadically at first, then his existance becomes poignant for a moment, The reference to Neruda, his real life exile, his political position, . . all of these are only subtly mentioned throughout the plot, and he is never referred to by name, So it's interesting that Allende refers to censorship by censoring herself, Clearly a conscious decision on her part, to seperate this historical novel from being a direct documentation of the history of Chile, The same holds true for the events leading up to and after the military coup and the Pinochet situation,
This story shows us what it "might" have looked like behind the scenes, What the papers were not reporting, What the news programing was cleaning up on orders of the heads of state,
This is what this story is about, In Latin America, these kinds of events are innumerable, They are part of the history, but they can not be told for the very censorship that this story speaks of, So they are told in novels and are thinly veiled as magical and exaggerated so as to hide behind such protection, But they are real, and to this day, there is a weekly procession in one of the plazas in Santiago, Chile, of people who "lost" family members to the military government.
years later, there are still hundreds who have not been accounted for,
With this story, Allende hooks us, reels us in, and binds us to these characters, They are funny, ecentric, tempermental, ideal, strong, weak and so much more, Their dimensionality begs us to invest in them, emotionally, so that when their lives become shaken by their setting, we are as invested in how they will deal with the challenge.
Wow! If you look up 'epic family dramas, sweeping sagas' you are sure to find the The House of the Spirits at the top of the list, It's hard to capture what this book covers as it covers so much, The story of the three generations of the Trueba family, How their lives have changed over many, many years, Their loves, grief, joy, family, politics, greed, desires, and more, I felt that there was so much heartbreak and tragedy in this story, But I kept thinking about this one, even when I was not reading it, It is beautiful. I wish that I could go back and start it all over again,
Esteban Trueba . . hmmm, he is a monster I think, Though does he ultimately redeem himself Clara, a wonderful character, who I wanted to hear more about and her talents, The book touches on magical realism and it was done perfectly, weaved into the lives of each of the Trueba family members, The love between Blanca and Pedro Tercero García, epic. Throw in a government political coup, Oh I want to hear more and more about these wonderful characters,
I listened to this one via audio, There were two narrators one male, one female, It took me a bit of time to get into the flow of the narration on this one, But once I did, I was captivated, However, I did not care for the male narration as much, from the point of view of Esteban Trueba, To me, I had a picture in my mind of Esteban and how he would speak, And this voice narration was just not him, Esteban was rugged, violent, jealous, . and the narration was timid and quiet and too laid back, Just a nitpick on my end, I just found it too jarring when the narration would switch, taking me out of my dreamlike trance that I was in listening to this magical book,
A beautiful book that I hope to revisit one day again and savor the details of the wonderful story, Our souls has no place in this world even if we lived in a one thousands room House

. he was angered by his father and by the heavy loss of Rosa on the day of his victory over poverty I have never in my life read a book where SO MUCH HAPPENS.
AY. Generation after generation of DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, AMIRITE I seriously don't know how to rate this book, Personally it wasn't a favourite, I found myself overwhelmed and bombarded with so much tragedy and injustice and found no love in any of the characters, but I really appreciated so much of what happened and really enjoyed learning more about magical realism.
Here's my video review of this! sitelink youtube. com/watchvawofw This took me some time to read as I wanted to savour it for as long as possible and not have it end, This is my first Allende novel which depicts an epic story of a Latin American family that spansgenerations, Weaved throughout are hints of mysticism, history, political unrest, cultural richness along with vivid descriptions of a cast of characters in which some evoke ethereal auras and others violent furies.
Allendes masterful style of writing is lavish with foreshadowing and thematic contrasts and brings as much satisfaction as a warm toasty fire on a cold winter day,

نقل از متن: خانه ارواح: نانا همچنان برجای ایستاده بود و دستهای چلیپا شده اش شالش را بر سینه نگه داشته بود سورو به نیمکت اشاره کرد و نانا شرمگینانه جلو آمد و کنارش نشست از زمانیکه نانا در خانه ی سورو زیسته بود این اولین بار بود که اینهمه به اربابش نزدیک میشد سورو برای خود و او دو لیوان باده ریخت و جام خویش را لاجرعه سر کشید سر را میان دو دست گرفت موهایش را چنگ میزد و با دندانهای به هم فشرده دعایی غریب را زمزمه میکرد نانا که شق ورق بر لبه ی نیمکت نشسته بود وقتی گریه ی وی را دید راحت نشست و دست زمخت و پر ترکش را دراز کرد و با همان لطفی که بچه های وی را در طول بیست سال گذشته تر و خشک کرده بود با یک حرکت خود به خودی موهای سورو را مرتب کرد سورو سر برداشت و وقتی به این چهره ی جوان نما و استخوانهای گونه ی سرخ پوستی و گیسوی گره شده و دامان پهناورش نگریست که همه ی زاد و رودش روی آن آروغ زده جنبیده و به خواب رفته اند احساس کرد این زن که به اندازه خود زمین گرم و بخشایشگر است میتواند او را تسلی دهد پیشانیش را بر دامن او نهاد و بوی خوش پیشبند آهاردارش را بویید و چون پسرکی به هق هق افتاد و همه ی اشکهایی را که در مقام یک مرد در طول زندگیش نگه داشته بود سرازیر کرد نانا پشت وی را خاراند و آرام تپ تپ به پشتش زد و با زبانی که بچه های کوچک را میخواباند با او حرف زد و ترانه ای روستایی برایش خواند تا آرام شد همچنان در کنار هم نشسته بودند و باده مینوشیدند و گهگاه که روزهای خوشی را به یاد میآوردند میگریستند روزهای خوشی که رزا درون باغ میدوید و پروانه ها را از زیباییش که تنها از ژرفای دریا میتوانست مایه گرفته باشد میترساند دکتر کوئواس و دستیارش در آشپزخانه آلات و ادوات خوفناک و کوزه های بدبو را آماده کردند پیش بندهای لاستیکی پوشیدند و آستینهایشان را بالا زدند و پنهانیترین قسمتهای بدن رزا را زیرورو کردند تا آنکه بدون کمترین تردیدی ثابت کردند که دختر مقدار زیادی مرگ موش خورده است دکتر ضمن شستن دستهایش در ظرفشویی چنین نتیجه گیری کرد: ـ قرار بوده زهر را سورو بخورد, دستیار که از زیبایی دختر جوان بیطاقت شده بود نمیتوانست به رها کردن دختر در آنحالت که مثل نیم تنه ای دوخته شده مینمود تن در دهد و به دکتر پیشنهاد کرد اندکی آن را مرتب کنند آن دو مرد برای حفظ جسد از تباهی به کار روغن زدن و مالیدن خمیر مخصوص کفن و دفن پرداختند و تا ساعت چهار صبح کار کردند تا آنکه دکتر کوئواس گفت آنقدر خسته و غمگین است که نمیتواند کار را
