	The House of the Spirits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House of the Spirits (La Casa de los Espíritus) is the debut novel of Isabel Allende.
		One of the principal criticisms levelled against The House of the Spirits is its too-close-for-comfort similarity to One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
		Also like García Márquez, who is an avowed and enthusiastic disciple, The House of the Spirits clearly shows the heavy influence of William Faulkner, especially in the novel's use of shifting narrative points of view, reminiscent of The Sound and the Fury.

	SparkNotes: The House of the Spirits: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		The unnamed country in The House of the Spirits, like Allende’s native Chile, is divided between modern city and largely undeveloped countryside, and between an aristocratic and a peasant class, with little in between.
		The House of the Spirits begins and ends with the narrators referring explicitly to her use of Clara’s journals in order to write the story at hand.
		The title of the novel underlines the association: The House of the Spirits refers both to the book as a whole, and also to the big house on the corner, which, thanks to Clara, is always full of ghosts and spirits.

		Together, men and women, spirits, the forces of nature, and of history, converge in an unforgettable, wholly absorbing and brilliantly realised novel that is as richly entertaining as it is a masterpiece of modern literature.
		The visiting spirits are among the most ordinary of the characters in the novel, however, and after a while the extraordinary nature of every family member becomes a little tiresome.

		When THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS was rushed to completion for its German, Swiss, Dutch, and Scandinavian openings, the film ran 145 minutes, but since then director Billie August recut the film to 138 minutes.

		_The House of the Spirits_ reviewed by Cynthia Fuchs A recent cover story in _Entertainment Weekly_ (11 February 1994) features a conversation among Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, and Winona Ryder, the stars of Bille August's radiantly conventional _The House of the Spirits_.
		The lessons here are learned by ever- misguided men, and women in this movie's world continue to carry their wisdom and serenity like barely effective shields against the guys' carryings on.
		For even if it raises some questions, _House of the Spirits_ is not really about changing the power dynamic in Hollywood or anywhere else.

		The House of the Spirits is a generational tale of life among the ruling class in a South American country, as adapted from the Isabel Allende novel, but the political realities coexist very uneasily with the magical realism in this Bille August film.
		A wealthy family, a Shakespearean love between a peasant's son and a land owner's daughter; betrayal, rage, passion, violence and murder, ghosts (spirits), rebelion and freedom: all these are just some of the ingredients portraid in the movie with a great line up, awsome landscape and fairly good soundtrack.
		I have not seen a film quite as appaling as this one in a long time, I am Chilean and a huge fan of the book "La casa de los espiritos" (The house of the spirits), which is beautifly written, with some of the most truthfull and thoughtfull characters I have come across.
