"A remarkable novel" (The Washington Post) from New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende, introducing her most enchanting creation, Eva Luna: a lover, a writer, a revolutionary, and above all a storyteller. Eva Luna is the daughter of a professor's assistant and a snake-bitten gardener--born poor, orphaned at an early age, and working as a servant. Eva is a naturally gifted and imaginative storyteller who meets people from all stations and walks of life. Though she has no wealth, she trades her stories like currency with people who are kind to her. In this novel, she shares the story of her own life and introduces readers to a diverse and eccentric cast of characters including the Lebanese migr who befriends her and takes her in; her unfortunate godmother, whose brain is addled by rum and who believes in all the Catholic saints and a few of her own invention; a street urchin who grows into a petty criminal and, later, a leader in the guerrilla struggle; a celebrated transsexual entertainer who instructs her in the ways of the adult world; and a young refugee whose flight from postwar Europe will prove crucial to Eva's fate. As Eva tells her story, Isabel Allende conjures up a whole complex South American nation--the rich, the poor, the simple, and the sophisticated--in a novel replete with character and incident, with drama and comedy and history, with battles and passions, rebellions and reunions, a novel that celebrates the power of imagination to create a better world.
Del autor del bestseller La Caba a, nos llega una de las novelas m s inspiradoras de la d cada. En las costas de una isla entre dos dimensiones, encalla el container de una embarcaci n donde encuentran varios cad veres y a una joven a punto de morir. John, que se encarga de sus cuidados, descubre que el c digo gen tico de la mujer la conecta con todas las razas conocidas. Nadie se imagina lo que significa realmente su supervivencia. Nadie, excepto Eva, la Madre de los Vivos, que la llama hija y la invita a ser Testigo de la verdad de su historia... de nuestra propia historia. Por qu Dios no me protegi ?, pregunt a Eva. Era la misma interrogante expresada por miles de millones de otras voces. La duda que surg a de tumbas y sillas vac as, de mezquitas e iglesias, de celdas de prisiones y callejones. La pregunta cuyas secuelas eran la fe desgarrada y los corazones maltrechos, que demandaban justicia y rogaban pidiendo milagros. Eva es una exploraci n reveladora sobre la Creaci n que, aunque fiel a los textos b blicos, propone un desaf o a las creencias tradicionales sobre qui nes somos y de d nde venimos. Del mismo modo que La Caba a despert en los lectores la necesidad de una comprensi n profunda de Dios, esta nueva novela de Paul Young nos liberar de las interpretaciones err neas que han corrompido las relaciones humanas desde los tiempos del Jard n del Ed n, ayud ndonos a vernos unos a otros como seres nicos y sin limitaciones.
