La casa de los espíritus (edición especial con cantos tintados)

The despotic patriarch Esteban Trueba has built a private empire with an iron fist, but it begins to crumble with the passage of time and an explosive social environment. Ultimately, the patriarch's personal decline will drag the Trueba family into a painful disintegration. Trapped in dramatic family relationships, the characters in this powerful novel embody the social and spiritual tensions of an era spanning much of the 20th century. With impeccable narrative skill and great historical insight, Isabel Allende has created a vivid tapestry in which the everyday coexists with the wondrous, love with revolution, and personal ideals with harsh political reality.
