Quoting tuncay87:
Possibly the best-known female writer of Latin-American literature, Isabel Allende has survived many political and personal tragedies. Most of those events have found THEIR way by her mother in Chile after her parents' divorce. into her books. Born in 1942, Allende was RAISED(INCOMPLETE SENTENCE) When her uncle, President Salvador Allende, was killed during a military coup in 1973, she fled. For the next seventeen years, she lived in Venezuela, WHERE she was unable to find work and felt trapped in AN unhappy marriage.
One day, learning that her grandfather was dying in Chile, Allende began to write him a long letter; that letter grew until it became her first novel. Still her most famous book, The House of Spirits established Allende's style of writing, which combines political realism and autobiography with dreams, spirits, AND magic. The novel, which was banned in Chile, was translated into more THAN twenty-five languages and in 1994 was made into a movie.
BY 1988, Allende had divorced, moved to northern California, remarried, and written her fourth novel, The Infinite Plan, which is her second hustand's story. Her next book traced the profound EFFECT on Allende of the death of her daughter, Paula. The book Paula, like The House of Spirits, was SUPPOSED to be a letter, this time TO her daughter, who lay in a coma in a Madrid hospital.
After Paula was published, Allende stopped writing for several years. She started again in 1996, on January 8, the same day of the year that she had begun every one of her books. The result was Aphrodite, a non-fiction book about food and sensuality that was QUITEdifferent from Allende's PAST work.
With renewed energy to WRITE again, Allende spun the tale of an independent woman who leaves her home in Chile to move to San Francisco during the Gold Rush. Two novels, Daughter of Fortune and Portrait in Sepia, complete her story.
Isabel Allende is famous for BEING a passionate storyteller WHOSE writing captures both the Latin-American and the universal human experience. As the first Latina to write a major novel in the mystical tradition, she not only created a sensation, but she paved the way for other female Hispanic writers, including Julia Alvarez and Sandra Cisneros. |
