by Isabel Allende (Author)

Eva Luna era una cascada de cuentos contados a través de otros cuentos.
Pero el caudal estaba lejos de haberse agotado.

En la cama con su amante, Eva Luna es requerida por éste para que le cuente un cuento "que jamás haya contado antes". Y la improvisada Shéhérezade no cuenta una sino veintitrés vidas en las que el amor, el odio, la venganza, lo grotesco y lo sublime se superponen y empujan unos a otros en su afán por completar todo el registro de sentimientos posibles en el alma humana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Told in the voice of Isabel Allende's beloved character Eva Luna, a "distinctive, powerful, and haunting" (Los Angeles Times) collection of short fiction by one of the most iconic and acclaimed writers of our time.

Eva Luna is a young woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. 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 her sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style, The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allende's work. This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers.

Author Biography

Isabel Allende nació en Perú donde su padre era diplomático chileno.

Inició su carrera literaria en el periodismo en Chile y en Venezuela. Su primera novela, La casa de los espíritus, se convirtió en uno de los títulos míticos de la literatura latinoamericana. A ella le siguieron otros muchos, todos los cuales han sido éxitos internacionales. Su obra ha sido traducida a treinta y cinco idiomas. En 2010, fue galardonada con el Premio Nacional de Literatura de Chile, y en 2012, con el Premio Hans Christian Andersen de Literatura por su trilogía El Águila y el Jaguar.
