Isabel Allende is a superstar of Latin American literature along with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of the most famous women in South America, winner of numerous awards, author of books translated into dozens of languages and with print runs that are steadily approaching one hundred million copies. "Eva Luna" (1987) and "The Stories of Eva Luna" (1989) are her earliest books about how ultimately nothing is more important than stories in this world. Generals, scientists, partisans, an unrecognized saint, bandits, a circus owner, the inhabitants of a ghost palace... "Eva Luna" is a tale of a storyteller, a novel about an orphan, a maid, a factory worker, a screenwriter, the owner of a turbulent biography and an exuberant imagination. For the sake of all that is human in her and in us, she composes fairy tales, mixes truth with fiction, and those who suffer are comforted by her "Stories" - a dizzying carnival whirlwind, in which love and faith, crazy coincidences and violent passions, a lot of sadness, laughter, a lot of blood and everything that stories usually consist of. Here speaks Eva Luna - Oliver Twist, Scheherazade and Baron Munchausen, a trickster, a pitfall, a perceptive witness, who will lend a helping hand or simply, giving a curious look, remember, keep the memory and then tell about what she saw.
