Sobre este artículo
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc, 1987. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author in black fountain ink on title page.Translated from the Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden. In her second novel, OF LOVE AND SHADOWS, Isabel Allende again transports us to a world of large events, high drama, and rich emotions. Again we are in an unnamed Latin American country, this time in the grip of a military dictatorship. And, at the center are two people, a woman and a man, who are fated, under the most desperate circumstances, to fall totally in love. She is Irene Beltran, a daughter of the upper classes, a well-intentioned if somewhat naive reporter for a women's magazine. He is Francisco Leal, son of Spanish exiles, a photographer and a clandestine worker in the resistance. Sent on a routine assignment, these two discover a hideous crime, the revelation of which will challenge--and provoke--the offical terrorism of the regime and put their very lives at stake. Allende is also the author of THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS, EVA LUNA, THE STORIES OF EVA LUNA, PAULA, APHRODITE, DAUGHTER OF FORTUNE, PORTRAIT IN SEPIA, ZORRO, and INES OF MY SOUL, among others. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L13
Sinopsis
Born in Peru, Isabel Allende is Chilean. She was a journalist for many years and began to write fiction in 1981. The result was the worldwide bestseller The House of the Spirits, which was followed two years later by the equally successful Of Love and Shadows . Long a resident of Caracas, she now makes her home in San Rafael, California, where she is completing a new book. From the Trade Paperback edition.
