Mi País Inventado
Mi País Inventado

Evocative memoir of Allende's Chilean roots and nostalgia.

If you've ever felt a longing for a place that's both home and a distant memory, "Mi Pais Inventado" by Isabel Allende could resonate with you. It's a rich tapestry of personal and cultural reflections, filled with the poignant moments of Allende's Chile. Her storytelling here is as flavorful as the landscapes she describes, with an inherent warmth that might just transport you to the Chile of her past and invite you to reflect on your own roots.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Amor por Chile y una gran nostalgia son el origen de este libro. La presencia continuada del pasado, el sentimiento de verse ausente de la patria, la melancolía por la dicha perdida, la conciencia de haber sido peregrina y forastera: en Mi país inventado, Isabel Allende recoge toda la emoción que esto conlleva, y nos la transmite con inteligencia y humor. Tamizado por la mirada y los recuerdos de la autora, Chile deviene un país real y fantástico a la vez; una tierra estoica y hospitalaria, de hombres machistas y mujeres fuertes y apegadas a la tierra. Pero, sobre todo, es el escenario de su niñez: evocados con gracia, cobran aquí vida de nuevo su original familia, la casa de los abuelos, el ceremonial de las comidas, las historias de infidelidades... y los espíritus que siempre la han acompañado. En Mi país inventado, Isabel Allende vuelca todos sus sentimientos para recrear dos historias enlazadas, la de su país y la propia, con un tono intimista, de confesión autobiográfica poética.
