"Me arrepiento de los platos deliciosos rechazados por vanidad, tanto como lamento las ocasiones de hacer el amor que he dejado pasar por ocuparme de tareas pendientes o por virtud puritana, ya que la sexualidad es un componente de la buena salud, inspira la creaci n y es parte del camino del alma... Por desgracia, me demor treinta a os en descubrirlo". --Isabel Allende
Isabel Allende despliega aqu sus poderes m gicos como cuentista y, con un encanto peculiar, entrelaza las sensuales artes de la comida y el amor, combinando recuerdos personales, folklore de todo el mundo, leyendas hist ricas y momentos memorables de la literatura (incluyendo la literatura er tica), con porciones similares de humor y perspicacia. El lector es el invitado privilegiado a un banquete de hechos fascinantes sobre los poderes afrodis acos de los alimentos y las bebidas que Isabel Allende sirve con convincente admiraci n y debida irreverencia. Ofrece sugerencias, tanto antiguas como modernas, para atraer a un amante, encender el ardor sexual, prolongar el acto sexual y reactivar la decadente virilidad. Y revolviendo en el caldero de la historia, nos informa sobre los apetitos lascivos de personajes memorables como el emperador Ner n, Catalina la Grande y hasta la notoria Madame du Barry de Francia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende celebrates the pleasures of the sensual life in this rich, joyful and slyly humorous book, a combination of personal narrative and treasury of erotic lore. Under the aegis of the Goddess of Love, Isabel Allende uses her storytelling skills brilliantly in Aphrodite to evoke the delights of food and sex. After considerable research and study, she has become an authority on aphrodisiacs, which include everything from food and drink to stories and, of course, love. Readers will find here recipes from Allende's mother, poems, stories from ancient and foreign literatures, paintings, personal anecdotes, fascinating tidbits on the sensual art of foodand its effects on amorous performance, tips on how to attract your mate and revive flagging virility, passages on the effect of smell on libido, a history of alcoholic beverages, and much more.
An ode to sensuality that is an irresistible blend of memory, imagination and the senses, Aphrodite is familiar territory for readers who know her fiction.

Vivió en Chile entre 1945 y 1975, con largas temporadas de residencia en otros lugares, en Venezuela hasta 1988 y, a partir de entonces, en California. Inició su carrera literaria en el periodismo en Chile y en Venezuela. Su primera novela, La casa de los espíritus, se convirtió en uno de los títulos míticos de la literatura latinoamericana. A ella le siguieron otros muchos, todos los cuales han sido éxitos internacionales. Su obra ha sido traducida a treinta y cinco idiomas. En 2010, fue galardonada con el Premio Nacional de Literatura de Chile, y en 2012, con el Premio Hans Christian Andersen de Literatura por su trilogía El Águila y el Jaguar.
