Présentation de l'éditeur
With an enchanting blend of magical realism, politics, and romance reminiscent of her classic bestseller The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende presents a soul-baring memoir that seizes the reader like a novel of suspense.
Written for her daughter Paula when she became ill and slipped into a coma, Paula is the colorful story of Allende's life -- from her early years in her native Chile, through the turbulent military coup of 1973, to the subsequent dictatorship and her family's years of exile. In the telling, bizarre ancestors reveal themselves, delightful and bitter childhood memories surface, enthralling anecdotes of youthful years are narrated and intimate secrets are softly whispered.
In an exorcism of death and a celebration of life, Isabel Allende explores the past, questions the gods, and creates a magical book that carries the reader from tears to laughter, from terror to sensuality to wisdom. In Paula, readers will come to understand that the miraculous world of her novels is the world Isabel Allende inhabits -- it is her enchanted reality.
Présentation de l'éditeur
When Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, and the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.

Etat : Bueno. : In December 1991, Allende's daughter Paula, aged 28 fell gravely ill and sank into a coma. This book started as a letter to Paula written during the hours spent at her bedside, and became a personal memoir and a testament to the ties that bind families ? a brave, enlightening, inspiring true story.This book was written during the interminable hours the novelist Isabel Allende spent in the corridors of a Madrid hospital, in her hotel room and beside her daughter Paula's bed during the summer and autumn of 1992. Faced with the loss of her child, Isabel Allende turned to storytelling, to sustain her own spirit and to convey to her daughter the will to wake up, to survive. The story she tells is that of her own life, her family history and the tragedy of her nation, Chile, in the years leading up to Pinochet's brutal military coup.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In December 1991, Isabel Allende's daughter Paula, aged 28, fell gravely ill and sank into a coma. 'Paula is more than a memoir. It is a tender, moving and vivid record of a mother's agony at the bedside of her daughter. Paula begins as a long letter as a way of giving her back the life that is ebbing away. the result is a mesmerizing story. In flawlessly rich prose Allende shares with us her most intimate feelings. an emotionally charged, spellbinding memoir.' - Washington Post 'Paula is full of the same portentous dreams and friendly ghosts, the same unlikely events that make Allende's fiction so delightful. This true story of Allende's life is even more wonderful, spirited and humorous than its imaginary rendition in her first novel, The House of Spirits.' - San Francisco Examiner 'A beautiful and heartrending memoir. Allende is a born story teller. quite wonderful.' - Los Angeles Times 'If the ferocity of a mother's love, the use of the writer's art, the experience of mystical transcendence could ever bring a dying child back to life, this would have done it. Allende somehow inspires and uplifts. once again, she cracks open the novelist's door to a houseful of vivid and colourful characters, as memorable as nay she has portrayed.' - San Francisco Chronicle. 330 pages.
