Recen-you-mind (my mind Review)-The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende, [3]

When you have finished reading "The House of the Spirits," and not stored in your library, you will find that one of the books ruined because, over time when you read it, I have brought with you for anywhere, trying to be guided by the spirits, real or not, who hide among the ink.

soon will be among other symptoms, the different characters that roam the houses and the pages, they leave you their life experience and Chile will be so to the reader to decide whether to try to awaken the people or make them lie in his own mind. Probably some
director must have tried to awaken the spirits of this novel about a film, but would be surprised to discover that an architect could better represent this South American saga between reality and fantasy, history and everyday life.

Only an architect, an architect or rather, could follow the changing vicissitudes of the Trueba family came from the sweat of his father Esteban, pragmatic and crabby, and the naturalness with which the mother Clara is the spirits and people, only an architect, but it must be able to build an imposing and majestic palaces, wants to be like this family, but to build it quickly because at any moment, these buildings could be destroyed by frequent earthquakes all ' within the family and the country is often disrupted by frequent natural or social shocks.
In the book there are numerous examples of how architecture can symbolize the many stories that are interwoven in a way so thick that having to use a scalpel rather than a frame in order to unravel: the home of Tres Marias, the rural estate of the family, brick houses of farmers, the palace of the president, killed by the armed forces ready to drop that center-left government so hated by Washington, and then the house on the corner, where they are told the most stories of this novel.
The house on the corner looks like a house full of British style, ordered with a large central courtyard, but the corridors, the basement, caged birds, which are then emptied, the back rooms are hiding the troubled lives of these characters are primarily the result of the dust that raises our chisel shaking the stories that have crossed the century in Chile by Isabel Allende told through the smiles, the beatings, hunger, food and freedom, superstitions: the scales that are left by the chisel of a story appasionante.
Last but not least, to roam the house the spirits that follow the fears and the courage of this building seems to cross that led from the pen of the author, of course, in the form of spirits, and let me dare to say that the spirits heard by Trueba family are nothing more than the readers who would like to join in this magnificent building that is "The House of the Spirits.
