Rendition To Books The Stories of Eva Luna

Isabel Allende is one of the world's most beloved authors. In 1988, she introduced the world to Eva Luna in a novel of the same name that recounted the adventurous life of a young Latin American woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. Returning to this tale, Allende presents The Stories of Eva Luna, a treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories.
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 the sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style of one of the world's most stunning writers, The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allende's work. It is not to be missed by anyone -- whether a devotee of Ms. Allende's oeuvre or a new acquaintance to her work.

Assess Regarding Books The Stories of Eva Luna

First, read "Eva Luna." Then read this volume of short stories that range from the outrageously erotic to astoundingly delightful to downright melancholy. The stories, each of which is a little treasure in its own right, are so intense that I found I could only read one or two at a sitting to fully appreciate them. Author Isabel Allende was born to tell stories!The premise of this book is based on the novel "Eva Luna," the fantastical story of a poverty-stricken girl living in an unnamed South

This book is one of my top 20 novels. I loved it so much that after borrowing it from the library and reading it, I sought and purchased a hard copy for my own library. I read this novel before I read Eva Luna, and the reverse order did not detract from my enjoyment. Sensual and mesmerizing, the narrative surrounding the story reminded me of another favorite, Tales of the 1001 Nights. The stories are self contained, but like chocolate (or cheese for me), you will want another and another until

Luscious...if I only had one word to describe this novel it would be luscious. The life, fragrance, colours, excitement, love and pain dripped off the page when I first read this book as a fifteen year old kid living in suburban Melbourne. Id never encountered anything as beautiful as the completely fascinating and magical world of Eva Luna. I was scared that no experience I had would ever compare with the fantastic portal that I passed through via Allendes poetic imagery of life and love. The

I adore Isabel Allende, and her beautiful mystical prose style. Like a more modern Scheherazade, Eva Luna tells stories that range from the tragic to the comical and encompasses the spectrum of human existence. A wonderful read for anyone who enjoys the South American mystical realism genre that Allende so encompasses.

I've been talking about these as I read along. The last two were not to my taste (and that's true for a few others as well), but overall, the stories were compelling and vividly told. From a writer's perspective, I appreciated that these were told as *tales*. I see a lot of focus these days on character development, interiority, etc., and that's great: we're interested, as people, in other people's interior lives and how character is defined and so on. But I have a great love of plain old

This is, as they say. not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.The writing was quite good. There were one or two lovely stories. The other 21 fixated on child sex abuse and the idea that disabled people are better off dead.I really need to get a rubber stamp that says ABLEIST TRASH.But yeah, no. It was terrific. I loved it.

A beautiful and immersive collection of stories. None felt too much like another and each one enthralled me more than the next. Isabel Allende has earned a reputation for her talent and with good reason!
