Violeta (Edici?n Limitada Con Cantos Pintados) / Violeta (Limited Edition with S Prayed Edges) (Spanish Edition)

La ?pica y emocionante historia de una mujer cuya vida abarca los momentos hist?ricos m?s relevantes del siglo XX.

Desde 1920 -con la llamada «gripe espa?ola - hasta la pandemia de 2020, la vida de Violeta ser? mucho m?s que la historia de un siglo.

Violeta viene al mundo un tormentoso d?a de 1920, siendo la primera ni?a de una familia de cinco bulliciosos hermanos. Desde el principio su vida estar? marcada por acontecimientos extraordinarios, pues todav?a se sienten las ondas expansivas de la Gran Guerra cuando la gripe espa?ola llega a las orillas de su pa?s sudamericano natal, casi en el momento exacto de su nacimiento.

Gracias a la clarividencia del padre, la familia saldr? indemne de esta crisis para darse de bruces con una nueva, cuando la Gran Depresi?n altera la elegante vida urbana que Violeta ha conocido hasta ahora. Su familia lo perder? todo y se ver? obligada a retirarse a una regi?n salvaje y remota del pa?s. All? Violeta alcanzar? la mayor?a de edad y tendr? su primer pretendiente...

En una carta dirigida a una persona a la que ama por encima de todas las dem?s, Violeta rememora devastadores desenga?os amorosos y romances apasionados, momentos de pobreza y tambi?n de prosperidad, p?rdidas terribles e inmensas alegr?as. Moldear?n su vida algunos de los grandes sucesos de la historia: la lucha por los derechos de la mujer, el auge y ca?da de tiranos y, en ?ltima instancia, no una, sino dos pandemias.

Vista con los ojos de una mujer poseedora de una pasi?n, una determinaci?n y un sentido del humor inolvidables que la sostienen a lo largo de una vida turbulenta, Isabel Allende nos regala, una vez m?s, una historia ?pica furiosamente inspiradora y profundamente emotiva.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The epic story of a woman who lived through many of the key events of the twentieth century.

From the Spanish flu in 1920 through the covid pandemic in 2020, Violeta's life is much more than the story of a century.

Violeta came into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a household with five rambunctious boys. From the start, her life was marked by extraordinary occurrences as, in the wake of the Great War, the first cases of the Spanish flu appeared in her South American homeland almost at the exact moment of her birth.

Thanks to her father's foresight, the family made it through this crisis only to come up against a new one. The Great Depression transformed the elegant urban life Violeta had known until then. Having lost everything, her family withdrew to a wild and remote region of the country, where Violeta came of age and met her first suitor...

In a letter to the person she loves most in the world, Violeta describes romantic disappointments and passionate loves, poverty and prosperity, devastating losses and immense joys. Her life was shaped by some of the most momentous events in history: the struggle for women's rights, the rise and fall of dictators, and not one, but two, pandemics.

Writing through the eyes of a woman ruled by passion, determination and a sense of humor that sustains her through a long and turbulent life, Isabel Allende brings us another inspiring and deeply moving epic story.
