La casa de los espíritus narra la saga de una poderosa familia de terratenientes latinoamericanos. El despótico patriarca Esteban Trueba ha construido con mano de hierro un imperio privado que empieza a tambalearse con el paso del tiempo y un entorno social explosivo. Finalmente, la decadencia personal del patriarca arrastrará a los Trueba a una dolorosa desintegración. Atrapados en unas dramáticas relaciones familiares, los personajes de esta poderosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de una época que abarca gran parte del siglo XX. Con impecable pulso narrativo y gran lucidez histórica, Isabel Allende ha creado un fresco en el que conviven lo cotidiano con lo maravilloso, el amor con la revolución y los ideales personales con la dura realidad política.

Argentina’s 1976 coup d’état resulted in a brutal dictatorship, with thirty thousand people abducted and tortured, and hundreds of babies born to political prisoners stolen and given to military families or regime collaborators. Analía was one of these children, raised unaware of her adoption. At twenty-seven, she discovered her true identity and the far-reaching consequences of the dictatorship that persisted through decades of democracy. In this narrative, she becomes Victoria, sharing her journey as a young, politically engaged woman from the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Initially feeling like the family’s black sheep due to her contrasting beliefs, Victoria’s life changes dramatically when she uncovers the truth about her origins, including her uncle’s involvement in her parents’ murder and her own kidnapping. This revelation allows her to embrace her legacy fully. Now the youngest member of congress in Argentina, she has reclaimed her identity and her real name: Victoria Donda. This story chronicles her life from the abduction of her parents to her election to parliament, highlighting her resilience and determination to confront her past.
