Un libro lleno de amor y de humor que reconstruye, desde la evocación, la vida, la felicidad añorada y los espacios más queridos de Isabel Allende.

"Un libro que capta mi entera atención al exponer la relación de la autora con ese país suyo, inventado, imaginario, ficcional, con la historia de su familia, que a su vez es memoria in-ventada, con su vocación de escritora". --Jorge Edwards

Amor por Chile y una gran nostalgia son el origen de este libro: la presencia continuada del pasado, el sentimiento de verse ausente de la patria, la conciencia de haber sido peregrina y forastera... todo ello lo transmite Isabel Allende con inteligencia y humor. Aquí Chile deviene un país real y fantástico a la vez; una tierra estoica y hospitalaria, de hombres machistas y mujeres fuertes y apegadas a la tierra. Pero, sobre todo, es el escenario de su niñez. Evocados con gracia, cobran vida de nuevo su original familia, la casa de los abuelos, el ceremonial de las comidas, las historias de infidelidades... y los espíritus que siempre la han acompañado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A stunningly intimate memoir. . . . Allende is that rare writer whose understanding of story matches her mastery of language."--Entertainment Weekly

The revered New York Times bestselling author of House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea ponders the elements that led to her becoming a writer, including the homeland she lost and the one she found, and the family spirits, both living and dead, who haunt her life and work.
In this wondrous and intimate book, Isabel Allende explores the role of memory and nostalgia in shaping her life, her books, and that most intimate connection to her place of origin. My Invented Country brings her homeland of Chile to life in her unique voice, evoking the magnificent landscapes of her land, the almost mythic people of her family; the tragedy and hope of her people; and the politics, religion, and magic that infuse them all.

My Invented Country orbits two life-changing moments: the 1973 assassination of her uncle Salvador Allende Gossens which sent her into exile and inspired her literary career; and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on her adopted homeland, the United States. Ping-ponging across distance and time, between past and present lives, it is a monumental tribute to history and the immigrant experience and a wise and personal consideration of what it means to pursue a reflective life in a cacophonous, contradictory world.

The perfect jean for the "in between tween"
Size: 16 Plus, Color: Md Lara Wash
As a parent, one of my top priorities is ensuring that my daughter feels confident and comfortable in her own skin, especially as she navigates the challenging world of growing up. However, finding the perfect pair of jeans for her has always been a struggle. At the tender age of 11, the last thing I want her to experience is frustration and discomfort when trying on clothes. We've encountered the all-too-common issue of jeans that fit well on the legs but are impossible to zip up and button, leaving my daughter feeling self-conscious and disheartened. Despite her not being plus-sized, finding jeans in her size that didn't constrict or make her feel "fat" (a term I use delicately) seemed like an impossible task. Enter these jeans. In a moment of trial and error, I decided to try a plus-size option, and to our delight, it worked like a charm. My daughter slipped into these jeans effortlessly, and for the first time, she didn't have to struggle or squeeze into them. The fit was perfect, and she felt like a million dollars. The transformation in her confidence was truly remarkable. No longer did she feel insecure about her body or her clothes. Instead, she walked tall, radiating beauty and confidence. These jeans have become a wardrobe staple for her, and I couldn't be happier with the way they've positively impacted her self-esteem. If your daughter is going through a similar experience, I wholeheartedly recommend giving these jeans a try. They're not only affordable but also incredibly inclusive in their sizing, catering to a diverse range of body types. Don't let the frustration of finding the right fit dampen your daughter's spirits. With these jeans, she'll feel empowered and beautiful, just as every young girl should.
