A best seller and critical success all over the world, The House of the Spirits is the magnificent epic of the Trueba family -- their loves, their ambitions, their spiritual quests, their relations with one another, and their participation in the history of their times, a history that becomes destiny and overtakes them all. We begin -- at the turn of the century, in an unnamed South American country -- in the childhood home of the woman who will be the mother and grandmother of the clan, Clara del Valle. A warm-hearted, hypersensitive girl, Clara has distinguished herself from an early age with her telepathic abilities -- she can read fortunes, make objects move as if they had lives of their own, and predict the future. Following the mysterious death of her sister, the fabled Rosa the Beautiful, Clara has been mute for nine years, resisting all attempts to make her speak. When she breaks her silence, it is to announce that she will be married soon. Her husband-to-be is Esteban Trueba, a stern, willful man, given to fits of rage and haunted by a profound loneliness. At the age of thirty-five, he has returned to the capital from his country estate to visit his dying mother and to find a wife. (He was Rosa's fiance, and her death has marked him as deeply as it has Clara.) This is the man Clara has foreseen -- has summoned -- to be her husband; Esteban, in turn, will conceive a passion for Clara that will last the rest of his long and rancorous life. We go with this couple as they move into the extravagant house he builds for her, a structure that everyone calls "the big house on the corner," which is soon populated with Clara's spiritualist friends, the artists she sponsors, the charity cases she takes an interest in, with Esteban's political cronies, and, above all, with the Trueba children...their daughter, Blanca, a practical, self-effacing girl who will, to the fury of her father, form a lifelong liaison with the son of his foreman...the twins, Jaime and Nicolas, the former a solitary, taciturn boy who becomes a doctor to the poor and unfortunate; the latter a playboy, a dabbler in Eastern religions and mystical disciplines...and, in the third generation, the child Alba, Blanca's daughter (the family does not recognize the real father for years, so great is Esteban's anger), a child who is fondled and indulged and instructed by them all. For all their good fortune, their natural (and supernatural) talents, and their powerful attachments to one another, the inhabitants of "the big house on the corner" are not immune to the larger forces of the world. And, as the twentieth century beats on...as Esteban becomes more strident in his opposition to Communism...as Jaime becomes the friend and confidant of the Socialist leader known as the Candidate...as Alba falls in love with a student radical...the Truebas become actors -- and victims -- in a tragic series of events that gives The House of the Spirits a deeper resonance and meaning. It is the supreme achievement of this splendid novel that we feel ourselves members of this large, passionate (and sometimes exasperating) family, that we become attached to them as if they were our own. That this is the author's first novel makes it all the more extraordinary. The House of the Spirits marks the appearance of a major, international writer.
不论宣传者出于什么样的态度,用“穿裙子的马尔克斯”来称阿连德都极不合适。因为马尔克斯只有一个,而阿连德也只有一个。 真是不知道要怎么谈论阿连德的《幽灵之家》,几乎是从第一页开始,你就无法放下这本书。拉美世界的神秘风情像儿时接触的童话,生动自然又发人深醒。尽...
评分一直对读外国文学有障碍,有时候冗长的语言描述和我不了解的历史背景,以及频频出现的宗教、政治等,都让我读不下去。而且,外国长长的人名让我总是记不清楚谁是谁。因此,在“世界名著”泛滥的中学时代里,我做了很多次努力,却总是读不下去。而屈指可数读过的几本书里——除...
评分朋友非常迷恋《百年孤独》,我告诉他,有个叫阿连德的智利女作家,人称“穿裙子的马尔克斯”。我推荐他看《幽灵之家》,忙不迭地爆料,作者的伯父是智利的前总统萨尔瓦多•阿连德。朋友很茫然,我不久前刚从百度上学来的知识顿时有了用武之地,一起抖落给他:萨尔瓦多•阿...

评分伊莎贝尔·阿连德的小说《幽灵之家》,封面设计得很幽灵。全黑的底子,书名竖排在最顶端,白字,长度大约四厘米;围绕着这四个竖排的白字,是暗红的作者名、原文书名作者名和出版商的名号,闪动着变幻莫测的亮,——当然这取决于你捧起这本书时周围的光线情况。 我读这本小说...

评分EA一贯的风格, EPIC加点灵异. ROSA,CLARA姐妹俩, 女儿BLANCA, 孙女ALBA. 然后是从头贯穿到尾的,男主ESTEBAN. 电影里压缩了一些. 把ALBA略去,跟BLANCA写在了一起. 把MIGUEL写在PEDRO一起. CLARA的两个儿子JAMIE, NICOLAS也都省去了. 书里两人也很故事. 电影和书都好看.
