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.

出差去南京,又和译林的朋友见面。在她的同事桌上看到了《幽灵之家》,便后起脸皮要求赠送。我对它的好奇是由于封面上waist belt上几个marketing味道很浓的字:穿裙子的马尔克斯.加西亚。朋友倒也好说话,说这是新出的,在市场上很受欢迎呢。 赖到手之后很高兴,盘算着用什么...

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...

评分从开始读《幽灵之家》开始,一直能感受到《百年孤独》的影子。以至于有人评论说这部作品以“天才方式”回应了《百年孤独》。 这部作品读起来没有像《佩德罗 帕拉莫》那样让人觉得时空错乱,也没有《百年孤独》中那样让人纠结的人物关系。但是有很多情节和写作...
**第四段** 初读此书,我立刻被那种浓郁的地域气息所吸引。作者对生活场景的描绘达到了令人发指的细致程度——阳光穿过百叶窗的角度,食物散发出的气味,老旧家具上岁月的痕迹,甚至连空气中湿度的变化,都仿佛能被文字具象化。这不仅仅是背景设定,它几乎成为了故事中另一个重要的“角色”,影响着人物的性格和选择。我仿佛能闻到泥土和香料的味道,听到遥远山谷传来的风声。这种沉浸式的写作手法,成功地将我从日常琐事中抽离,带入了一个完全自洽、自成体系的世界。虽然故事跨越了几代人,但那种地方特有的、难以磨灭的文化烙印始终贯穿始终,显示出作者对故土深沉的爱与复杂的批判。
评分**第一段** 这本小说简直是一场视觉与情感的盛宴,读完后,我感觉自己仿佛跟随主人公们经历了一个世纪的风雨。作者的笔触细腻得惊人,每一个场景、每一个人物的内心挣扎,都描绘得栩栩如生。我特别欣赏作者如何将宏大的历史背景与错综复杂的人物命运交织在一起。那种扑面而来的命运感,让人在为角色们的遭遇唏嘘不已的同时,又不得不为他们身上展现出的坚韧而动容。书中的对话常常富有哲理,看似随意的几句,却能引发读者对时间、记忆和家庭传承的深刻思考。我尤其喜欢它那种略带魔幻现实主义的色彩,它让那些看似不可能发生的情节,在故事的语境下变得无比真实可信,为故事增添了一种迷人的、不可抗拒的魔力。读完最后一页,我久久无法从那种氛围中抽离出来,仿佛自己也成了那个家族历史的一部分,耳边还能听见风声穿过古老房屋的低语。
评分**第三段** 这本书最让我震撼的,是它对“记忆”和“遗忘”的探讨。它不仅仅是一个家族的故事,更像是一部关于一个国家集体记忆的寓言。那些被刻意掩盖的历史真相,那些代代相传却又被扭曲的个人创伤,都在作者的笔下得到了近乎残酷的揭示。我感觉作者在用一种近乎史诗般的笔触,记录着一个民族在动荡中如何试图重建自我认知的过程。每一次关于过去的重述,都伴随着新的理解和痛苦的释放。这种层层剥茧、不断挖掘深埋地下的真相的过程,让阅读充满了紧张感和强烈的代入感。每一次翻页,都像是在挖掘一个尘封的宝藏,虽然有时宝藏里满是荆棘和泪水,但那种发现的喜悦是无与伦比的。
评分**第二段** 坦白说,这本书的叙事结构对我来说是个不小的挑战,它像一张巨大的挂毯,时间线是跳跃的,人物关系盘根错节,初读时很容易迷失方向。然而,一旦你适应了这种非线性的节奏,便会发现其精妙之处。作者似乎在故意打破传统的线性叙事,迫使读者主动去拼凑碎片,去感受时间的流动并非总是匀速的。这种阅读体验是主动的、充满探索欲的。书中的女性角色群像尤为突出,她们的力量、牺牲和不屈服,构成了支撑整个家族历史的核心支柱。她们的爱与恨,是推动情节发展的强大引擎,即使面对最残酷的现实,她们也从未完全放弃对美好生活的向往。这种对女性力量的刻画,远比那些刻板的“女英雄”形象要深刻和真实得多,她们的伟大藏在日常的坚守之中。
评分**第五段** 这部作品的语言风格是如此华丽而富有节奏感,像是一首被精心谱写的交响乐。句子冗长却充满张力,副句层叠,仿佛层层叠叠的华服,将核心的情感包裹得严严实实,但又时不时地从缝隙中透出灼热的激情。阅读起来需要极大的专注力,因为任何一个分心的瞬间,你都可能错过作者精心编排的一个意象或一个双关语。对于追求简洁明快的叙事风格的读者来说,这可能需要时间适应,但一旦你适应了这种“巴洛克式”的叙事风格,你便会被它无与伦比的感染力所征服。它成功地证明了,复杂的情感和深刻的主题,需要同样复杂且富有韵律的语言结构来承载,才能达到震撼心灵的效果。这是一部需要慢慢品味,而非快速消化的文学佳酿。
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.
