![]() Recuerdo haber leído esta historia en mi adolescencia, cuando estaba completamente fascinada con ella. Nobody could possibly regret reading this book - go on - test my theory!Ĭuento mágico sobre una familia y su país ![]() ![]() Allende’s style varies from the outrageous - such as when recounting the hilarious eccentricities of the extraordinary family whose tale she tells (which will have you laughing out loud) to a more sober, unadorned way of delivering horrific events that convey so much more than just what the bare words describe - such as her understated description of the final hours of President Salvador Allende of Chile - which will surely have any reader in tears. I especially recommend anyone who loves Isabel Allende’s work to read or listen first in their own language, and then listen to this fine version in Spanish. 8 which allows you to hear the words more clearly, but does not ruin the performance of the reader. This audiobook, in Spanish, is beautifully read, and for someone whose first language is not Spanish, like me, if you have a little difficulty with listening, all you need to do is to bring down the speed of the reading to, for example. I bought the first addition in 1982 and I re-read it every few years, each time enjoying it – laughing, crying and loving the passion and warm hearted zeal with which it is written and with which the characters come alive on the page. Whether I read it in Spanish, English or French this is one of the most splendid books I have ever read. ![]()
