My favorite writer: Isabel Allende, which who has contributed to the beauty of the world

Isabel Allende was born in Lima in 1942, she studied journalism in Chile and she had to go into exile in to Venezuela after the military coup against her uncle Salvador Allende. Since the publication, in 1982, of "the House of the spirits", her novels and stories have achieved a big sales success, going through the sphere of the boundaries of the Castilian/Spanish language. Some of her main notable narrative works are Eva Luna, Paula and The infinite plan.

Her first novel, The house of the spirits, written in 1982, was an immediate success that became an internationally bestselling book, which was translated into different languages. In this book, Isabel Allende tries to rescue the memory of the past, by means of the story of three different generations of Chilean, since the beginning of the XX century to the decade of the 60's decade. The shaft of this saga is Esteban Trueba, a humble miner that manages to thrive becoming one of the most powerful landowners. After his frustrating marriage with Rosa, who dies poisoned by mistake, he marries her sister. Clara, incompetent for anything in connection with the household tasks but endowed with a fanciful hypersensitivity and an estrange strange clairvoyance: she can interpret dreams and predict the future with a surprising accuracy. The Esteban's brutality, lewd man with a very irascible (I'd avoid this  word "irascible", never heard of it. And I'm fairly well-read+educated) character, will undermine little by little this hardly reconcilable marriage and the conflicts will also spread to their children and grandchildren.

The novel goes through, over the years, the evolution of the social changes and ideological ideology of the country, without losing sight of the unexpected personal unexpected events -sometimes mysterious- of this family saga.
We will find (new technological advances) appearing on the scene the new technological advances, customs changes, the "new socialist ideas" as could be the women's emancipation, stories of communist ghosts, psychics, resulting in the victory of the socialism and the subsequent military coup. All these "social convulsions" will affect the Esteban Trueba family - whose members have always some extravagant and disproportionate characters- with different nuances of drama and violence. The old landowner age, and with him, the way of seeing the world based on the power, the honor code and the revenge.

The Los Angeles Times has called Allende "a genius", and she has received many international awards including the prestigious Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, granted to writers "who have contributed to the beauty of the world.
