Eva Luna

The captivating protagonist of this story serves as a nostalgic alter ego of the author, who calls herself a “thief of stories” precisely because the secrets of life and the world lie within them.

A novel with a deep human profile, Eva Luna merges individual destiny with the collective through a brilliant, epic prose. Without a doubt, it is one of the finest works of Latin American literature in recent years.

Author: Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende is a Chilean writer, globally recognized for novels such as The House of the Spirits, which blend reality and fantasy while narrating the history of a Chilean family across decades. Born in Peru, she grew up in Chile, went into exile in Venezuela following the 1973 military coup (which overthrew her uncle, President Salvador Allende), and eventually settled in California, where she currently resides. Her work—which includes bestsellers translated into numerous languages—explores themes of family, politics, love, and memory, including her autobiographical book Paula, dedicated to her daughter.
