In my mind the dancer/sulyvahn dynamic is less frollo/esmeralda and more. Alba trueba and esteban garcia minus the incest

For the get to know me asks, how about 2? (yo llamaria a los mios alba y césar 🤍)

2. what would you name your future kids?

omg I love alba for a girl too!! i haven't really given it much thought + it depends on my partner's culture/language. i think i'd like a name that is spanish in origin but accessible/easy for french people too. for example i was almost an aitana or an ainhoa but my dad thought the french would butcher the name incessantly so they went for something much more classic. maybe alba for a girl and esteban for a boy<3

The House of the Spirits - Isabel Allende

The House of the Spirits is the debut novel of Isabel Allende. The novel was rejected by several Spanish-language publishers before being published in Buenos Aires in 1982. It became an instant best-seller, was critically acclaimed, and catapulted Allende to literary stardom. The novel was named Best Novel of the Year in Chile in 1982, and Allende received the country's Panorama Literario award. The House of the Spirits has been translated into over 20 languages. The story details the life of the Trueba family, spanning four generations, and tracing the post-colonial social and political upheavals of Chile – though the country's name and the names of figures closely paralleling historical ones, such as "the Candidate/President" (Salvador Allende) or "the Poet" (Pablo Neruda), are never explicitly given. The story is told mainly from the perspective of two protagonists (Esteban and Alba) and incorporates elements of magical realism.

Alba by Esteban Folâtre

LA ORQUÍDEA

En el instante en que me pregunto

si la orquídea va a morir

ella florece

y no puedo explicar la emoción

en mi corazón, ni por qué tanto placer

proviene de ese pequeño capullo

en el extremo de un delgado tallo,

de esa pequeña flor

sanguínea roja dorada

abriéndose en el apogeo del verano

pequeña, perfecta en su plenitud.

Incluso para un poeta

de cabellos blancos y rostro curtido,

ella es en su pureza, erótica,

pistilo y estambre, polen,

rocío del mundo, una cucharada

de tierra y de agua.

Ella es erótica

porque en el corazón del nacimiento

la muerte afirma su existencia,

y el efecto dramático de los viejos prismas luminosos

del alba, allí en las húmedas ramas del cedro,

profundísimo misterio

mientras lavo la vajilla al atardecer

o bromeo con mi esposa,

quien a cada momento se vuelve más bella

simplemente porque uno de nosotros ha de morir.

- Sam Hamill,  Ojos abiertos y otros poemas, publicado por la Colección El Cuervo del Departamento de Literatura de la Universidad de Carabobo, 2006, con traducción de Esteban Moore.

𝐔𝐦𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚 | 𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐬 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐢́𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐬 - 𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞

SINOPSE: Isabel Allende constrói um mundo conduzido pelos espíritos e o enche de habitantes expressivos e muito humanos, incluindo Esteban, o patriarca, um homem volátil e orgulhoso, cujo desejo por terra é lendário e que vive assombrado pela paixão tirânica que sente pela esposa que nunca pode ter por completo; Clara, a matriarca, evasiva e misteriosa, que prevê a tragédia familiar e molda o destino da casa e dos Trueba; Blanca, sua filha, de fala suave, mas rebelde, cujo amor chocante pelo filho do capataz de seu pai alimenta o eterno desprezo de Esteban, mesmo quando resulta na neta que ele tanto adora; e Alba, o fruto do amor proibido de Blanca, uma mulher ardente, obstinada e dotada de luminosa beleza.

As paixões, lutas e segredos da família Trueba abrangem três gerações e um século de transformações violentas, que culminaram em uma crise que levam o patriarca e sua amada neta para lados opostos das barricadas. Em um pano de fundo de revolução e contrarrevolução, Isabel Allende traz à vida uma família cujos laços privados de amor e ódio são mais complexos e duradouros do que as lealdades políticas que os colocam uns contra os outros.

Fiquei assim algumas - várias - vezes.

Eu nem sei por onde começar a falar sobre essa leitura, mas já adianto: se te recomendarem, se preparem e vão com tudo!

Eu me preparei por saber que a autora colocou muito do que viveu - e que vivencia! - mas não foi suficiente e agora me encontro sem saber como explicar o quanto essa história mexeu comigo. Ao longo de 448 páginas acompanhei a história de uma família por 3 gerações sem perder o interesse e fiquei completamente presa ao conhecer ela se mantendo através de Clara, Blanca e Alba.

Apesar da enorme participação na história, não darei muitas considerações a respeito do patriarca da família porque basta imaginar TUDO DE RUIM que um homem do século XX munido de poder, ao ponto de se achar divino, tem e teremos uma imagem do quão próximo da realidade ele é, o que assusta bastante. Voltando às três principais mulheres, todas mostraram a graça e fortaleza da vida, principalmente no enfrentamento das dores diversas que as mulheres estão destinadas a carregar. E isso é tão inquebrável entre elas, sendo uma fonte para a outra, que nem a parte narrada por um maldito tira esse brilho - na verdade, só reforça, principalmente com o leitor acompanhando como essas mulheres de diferentes formas, e em épocas diferentes, tornou a vida desse homem num inferno.

Não tem como ficar impassível nessa leitura porque cada gente que vai se achegando nas Três Marias - fazenda da família - ou na Casa da Esquina - moradia na cidade - passa por essas três de uma forma inesquecível, o que torna lamentável cada partida, mesmo que não eterna. Foi temendo a falta desse clima de lutas internas tendo como fortaleza a proeza de ser de todos, que fiquei triste por ter chegado ao fim, mesmo que querendo correr para ele para saber como tudo acabava - e haja sofrimento!

Não consigo parar de pensar nas inúmeras horas que poderia falar sobre cada personagem e situações retratadas (a ferida do horror vivido na América Latina, por exemplo, ainda está aberta, apesar de fingirem que não), mas só me resta reforçar a recomendação para que todos possam sentir o que a história oferece, mesmo que seja sofrimento, porque vale a pena.

The house of the spirits movie WHY IS BLANCA PALE SKINNED,,,,

[ourlittlesister2015]

I’m halfway through the house of spirits.

Esteban Trueba is an absolute piece of shit, but is it wrong if I find him the most interesting so far? I think he is my favorite character and I don’t know how to feel about that.

He is so deep in denial, his actions alienate his family, (Blanca and Alba didn’t deserve any of his shit) I’m sure the people of las tres Maria’s are going to do an uprising and turn on him (and good for then when they do) his views are absolute trash and he still has the audacity to try to claim he is a good person.

But damn isn’t he an interesting character?

I think I'm not the person to have this conversation with. I read that book around three years ago, and it probably put me off reading Isabel Allende forever. I hated her writing style and above all else, I hated Esteban Trueba. Each of us can take something different from a book, so if you enjoy reading about him, I hope you have fun with the rest of it.

For me, that man is barely a character. He has no depth and he' only works as a symbol and one for all things I despise. I read this for a book club and I'm not exaggerating when I say every time I had to read about him I wanted to burn that book. I don't know you so I can't know how you're approaching it but for me it's not about his denial or his feelings. I don't care about him nor about his feelings. (I did care about how his actions affected others)

He's a stand-in for the ideal of patriarchy, for latifundiário/terrateniente. He's the story of the dream of climbing the social ladder with a very strong desire to oppress others. The social and political dynamics fell flat for me. There was no depth, only stereotypes for me, and, still, were it not I would not have cared for it.

He's a stand-in for the ideal of patriarchy, for what means to be latifundiário/terrateniente. He's the story of the dream of climbing the social ladder with a very strong desire to oppress others. All the social and political dynamics in which he's involved fell flat for me. Maybe if I weren't brazilian and weren't so familiar with the themes Allende uses I would have felt different but I can't work with what-ifs.

Despising a character doesn't necessarily mean I don't enjoy reading about them or from their pov but with Trueba there were only stereotypes and I need more than that to become interested.

I will say I enjoyed the stuff with the Victor Jara-like character but that's about it.

La Casa de Los Espiritus

A las 10:49pm mientras escuchaba Apocalypse terminé de leer La Casa de los Espiritus por Isabel Allende. Sigo en shock de que logré terminar un libro que había querido terminar desde hace mucho mucho tiempo. Jamás me imagine que este libro me fuera hacer llorar como lo hizo. Es bastante símbolico que lo haya terminado justo el día donde se conmemora el golpe de estado en Chile, símbolico porque la memoria de Salvador Allende sigue ahí y porque el pueblo chileno logró salir del horror de la dictatura, símbolico porque el espiritu de los compañeros no se ha muerto y sus memorias retumbarán en la tierra. No me puedo imaginar lo doloroso que ha de haber sido tener que escribir sobre una Patria adolorida. Isabel Allende lo hace tan mágnifico, tiene un estilo de escritura tan cautivante y el final es simplemente arrollador. Le agradezco por haberme presentado a Clara, Alba, Miguel, Jaime y Pedro Tercero García. Que maravilloso haber podido vivir en una casa dónde existía la mesa de tres patas, dónde convivían personas tan misteriosas y celestiales. Que hermoso saberse rodeado de espiritus. Es una historia tan dolorosa pero tan real de una familia que ha sido separada por el rencor, la venganza, el machismo, el dolor, el poder y la avaricia. Isabel nos enseña a tener cuidado con lo que deseamos y como a Esteban se le vino todo para abajo, como su odio pudo más que el amor y que casi destruye a su familia. Por otro lado, la casa de los espiritus se mantiene viva gracias al amor de las tres generaciones de mujeres Trueba que son fuertes, resilientes y alegres. Que libro tan conmovedor.... seguiré pensando en él por mucho tiempo. Gracias por permitirme ser un huesped en esa casa.

Sagarana [study guide (in Brazilian Portuguese) linked, as Goodreads had only the Spanish version]: Sagarana is a book by João Guimarães Rosa containing a series of short stories, published in 1946, all set in the rural landscape of Minas Gerais, where the author is from. The stories discuss of myriad of complex themes through odd characters, experiences and situations both private and universal, exploring reality through magical tales, and being inspired by real events lived by people from this region. The book also shines a light on superstitions and folklore, putting the popular myths and folk practices of the common man on the center stage of high literature. Despite the regional aspect not being as important as in later works by Guimarães Rosa, the book also features intricate and detailed descriptions of the landscape of Minas Gerais and the animals that inhabit it, adding to the immersion of the stories (found, paraphrased, and translated by @dhiibvulk - various sources, primarily the site linked above).

The House of the Spirits (La casa de los espíritus): In one of the most important and beloved Latin American works of the twentieth century, Isabel Allende weaves a luminous tapestry of three generations of the Trueba family, revealing both triumphs and tragedies. Here is patriarch Esteban, whose wild desires and political machinations are tempered only by his love for his ethereal wife, Clara, a woman touched by an otherworldly hand.
