	Metroactive Arts \| Isabel Allende
		Isabel is the first to admit that the Chile of her novels is a literary invention, and one she far prefers to the real thing.
		It is a tribute to Isabel Allende that her memoir transcends the limitations of its genre and finally approaches the unsparing intensity and austerity of Greek tragedy.
		In Isabel's journal of the year she sat vigil over her daughter, a subtle, almost imperceptible merging of the two voices--Isabel's and Paula's--creates a third voice that is a genuinely magical blend of Persephone and Demeter, of darkness and light cast in both mythical and spiritual terms.

	The Seattle Times: Books: "Inés of My Soul": Isabel Allende's story of a real-life conquistadora
		Allende casts the story as the reminiscences of an old lady: before Inés dies, she relates her adventures to her stepdaughter.
		The couple had no children, so after a few years in which she received only brief messages from her husband, Inés decided to travel to the New World, too, to ascertain whether her husband was living or dead, and to decide what to do with the rest of her life.
		As the niece of Chilean president Salvador Allende, who died in a violent coup in 1973, Isabel Allende is no stranger to the terrible price of ambition and power.

	Presidential Lectures: Isabel Allende
		Allende’s novelistic debut was followed by De amor y sombras in 1984 (Of Love and Shadows, 1987), the story of two journalists forced into exile after investigating the case of a young woman who has “disappeared” under military rule.
		Allende’s first venture into the short story genre, Stories of Eva Luna was written shortly after moving to California, where she found herself in what she calls a “mildly dysfunctional” home environment with multiple distractions, where she could not focus on something as lengthy and demanding as a novel.
		Here Allende weaves together the lives of Clara, one of the main characters from The House of the Spirits, and her cousin Aurora, the narrator of Portrait in Sepia, whose grandmother is a prominent figure in Daughters of Fortune.

	Amazon.ca: Zorro: Books: Isabel Allende (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Allende seems to be having much scholarly fun writing her post-colonial variation on machismo heroics; her Zorro takes his name-Spanish for “fox”-from the animal that appears as his spirit guide during an Indian initiation ceremony.
		Allende’s challenge is to balance her portrait of a romantic avenging hero with what we now know of the cruel realities of the time.
		Allende never fails to emphasize the suffering of colonized indigenous peoples during this period, while offering some heroic native figures-grandmother White Owl and her daughter (Diego’s mother) are both shamans-as figures of hope.

		If admirers of the exquisitely talented novelist Isabel Allende had to pick the least likely subject for a novel by her, it would probably be the swashbuckling yarn Zorro.
		But that's exactly what Allende has tackled, and with her first adult novel since 2001’s Portrait in Sepia--and the result (against all the odds) is a conspicuous success.
		Allende's lively retelling of the Zorro legend reads as effortlessly as the hero himself might slice his trademark "Z" on the wall with a flash of his sword.

		Isabel Allende is by far my favourite author, and I had always thought that 'Paula' was my favourite of her works.
		Of course, it was Isabel's attempts to make sense of something completely senseless, and thus we can hardly blame her from trying to think of things unrelated to her daughter and ensuing sorrow.
		Isabel Allende's usual style of thickly descriptive, almost surreal, writing doesn't generally appeal to me. I read Eva Luna, then House of Spirits; after that, I was over it.

		It is evident that even with her first novel, The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende has adopted a style very comparable to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cox, 29).
		Throughout her works, and especially in The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende does an excellent job of blending powerful fictional writing with actual historical events, thus creating a true portrait of the voice of a nation (Cox, 41).
		All photos, aside from the one found at www.haverford.edu/span/spanish/Docs/events, were borrowed from Allende's private album on her personal webpage www.isabelallende.com.
