Reading the final chapters of "the house of the spirits" by Allende and man, I've been crying like a baby way too much
#bawled my eyes out for Jaime#And bawling my eyes out for Esteban Trueba#He's such! A compelling character!!#I'm also obsessed by the ways all the different family traits come up again and again#Blanca and Alba with their fantastical monsters design like Rosa#Blanca and Jaime with traits from Ferula#Nicolas as a reminiscence of uncle Marcos and Clara#Alba and Esteban having the drive of Esteban....#Will read the last chapter and epilogue tomorrow I think :)#Also how Pedro Tercero and Esteban dynamics slowly grow to mirror Pedro Segundo and Esteban's relationship...#Not in the sense of friendship or anything of the sort but I see the semblance of a thread#(And in general how Pedro Tercero slowly follows into his father's approach to life although he approaches it in a different way)#my post

In my mind the dancer/sulyvahn dynamic is less frollo/esmeralda and more. Alba trueba and esteban garcia minus the incest
#less 'horny for a girl and catholic guilt' and more#'i hate what you and your life represents as a whole compared to mine and i shall throroughly destroy it to feel better about my condition'#like theres a whole scene in espiritus when esteban starts kissing alba and taking care of her and telling her about himself#and when he realizes that he's doing that he throws her in a confinement cell for days to both#remind her place and get away from his feelings#and i was like. oh. its so them coded#anw welcome to part unnamed of 'sara has only read one (1) book in her entire lige'

Fantasy Guide to Dukes and Duchesses
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f24c02161b43bd18fba4c474669abe99/b07daad9a52120d8-59/s540x810/22a2aabed0dff2999f6595c04b85d8fbe4aeec2d.jpg)
This new series will offer an indepth view of each noble title in the standard European hierarchy of noble titles. Here we will discuss what they are, their lands, their jobs and everything you need to know when writing them.
What is a Duke exactly?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6143acdf8805d4f7ec66b9f71143156c/b07daad9a52120d8-39/s540x810/b4d47091387c9cf508c3a9bf1ec856e42c341245.jpg)
A Dukedom is the highest rank in most noble hierarchies. The Duke rules a section of land within the Kingdom known as a Duchy, for example the Duke of Lancaster or can be a standalone title, Duke of Rothesay. A Dukedom is inherited through the family line, from father to so but the title is bestowed on the by the monarch. Monarchs can also give their children Dukedoms, and often do. For example the second son of the King of France would be the Duc d'Orleans.
Titles, Titles
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b342d71c0287c952d26caf5f7449a929/b07daad9a52120d8-a5/s540x810/24d384e5e151fb818e6f674cedb0db983d3658cb.jpg)
The Duke is the highest ranking in the land. They are the first among the nobility, among the wealthiest, with the most prestige. A Duke is referred to as 'Your Grace'. If one is meeting a Duke in a social setting, nobles would call them Duke whilst underlyings would call them "Your Grace". A Duke would also hold subsidiary such as an Earldom or two, a Barony or three. But would go by Duke as it is the highest title. Fun fact, Carlos Fitz-James Stuart (pic above) has the most titles:
He is: Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, Duke of Alba, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Berwick, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Huéscar, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Liria and Jérica, Grandee of Spain, Count-Duke of Olivares, Grandee of Spain,Marquess of Carpio, Grandee of Spain, Marquess of La Algaba, Marquess of Barcarrota, Marquess of Castañeda, Marquess of Coria, Marquess of Eliche, Marquess of Mirallo, Marquess of la Mota, Marquess of Moya, Marquess of Osera, Marquess of San Leonardo, Marquess of Sarria, Marquess of Tarazona, Marquess of Valdunquillo, Marquess of Villanueva del Fresno, Marquess of Villanueva del Río, Count of Lemos, Grandee of Spain, Count of Lerín, Grandee of Spain, Constable of Navarre, Count of Miranda del Castañar, Grandee of Spain, Count of Monterrey, Grandee of Spain, Count of Osorno, Grandee of Spain, Count of Andrade, Count of Ayala, Count of Casarrubios del Monte, Count of Fuentes de Valdepero, Count of Fuentidueña, Count of Galve, Count of Elves, Count of Modica, Count of San Esteban de Gormaz, Count of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Count of Villalba, Viscount of la Calzada, Lord of Moguer.
The Family of the Duke
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8844aad45ade7016fb9b054139116b1f/b07daad9a52120d8-80/s540x810/9c4c39af767011f14b4ff68e01e8a611a6dd5126.jpg)
The wife of a Duke is a Duchess. If a Duke is married to a man, while there is no real world examples, I would personally say they would take one of those other subsidiary titles I mentioned above. Same thing with a ruling Duchess and her wife. However, a ruling Duchess's husband usually sticks with whatever title he came with. The heir of the Duke usually inherits their parent's next highest title, usually an Earldom. The other children are styled as Lord/Lady Firstname.
The Role of the Duke
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3f47306e21941e7026242b6000a94a16/b07daad9a52120d8-5c/s540x810/d2012e60bdb96bca867990054ae7056aacfbad2b.jpg)
As the Duke is leader of the Duchy, which is a large section of the kingdom. They are in control of this section, the highest power in law and order, politics and all things in that section with only the monarch above. They handle administration at the highest level, raising troops from their duchy for the crown in times of war, see the collection of taxes and sometimes they might even advise the monarch if they are offered a place of the monarch's council. They would also attend the monarch at their coronation.
Cribs
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/13810e490df65818d14f30c3738c26a3/b07daad9a52120d8-1c/s540x810/5c747799fce81b21255fc34a963f1bf719bfc085.jpg)
Dukes like a lot of nobility would have multiple houses, manors, estates etc. Their homes would be the grandest in the land and the social hubs for the Duchy and even the country. A Duke would sometimes live at court when invited but would also have the homes in the capital. This vast portfolio can become a source of income as the Duke can rent them out or a handy way to shelf relatives who depended on them.

F1-75 live comments bc I’m feeling yappy now that we’re almost back to F1 again. (Very long sorryyyy but not really. also if it gets weird, I am slightly tipsy)
Wanted to have beef so bad with Jack Whitehall for that time that he called Seb boring and unfunny, but that intro roast was great my god. (Apparently he confused him with Kimi? Idk.)
Immediately poking fun at Max for not wanting to be there, then bringing up the George-Max beef. “Have you two kissed and made up yet?” Toxic Russtappen beef this season is a need, not a want.
“Pray for Toto, it’s the worst thing that could happen, your partner of ten years running off with an Italian stallion. Toto, I hope you switched your eyes to wets.” Incredible.
Omg Jenson Brawn clips
Omg “The Formidable” Sebastian Vettel clip
Why tf does Mattia Binotto get to walk out on stage to Vivaldi’s Summer, keep that gorgeous song away from him wtf. Idk the Stake car looks nice, very cool gradient with the green.
This is kinda hilarious ngl, obscenely corny.
Thank you Jack Whitehall for using the term “rawdog,” truly. Beautiful stuff happening tonight. I hope MBS hated that.
Poor Charles cannot catch a break from being flirted with by Whitehall (completely unrelated to the use of the word rawdog, I swear).
Williams looks more blue than usual perhaps. 👍 It’s nice though!
Gradients are in this season I guess. Maybe they were before. Who knows. The cars (ideally) go too fast for me to see.
A whole segment poking fun at VCARB’s name is amazing airtime. I feel like that sounds sarcastic, but it’s not, I swear. They better add green to the car.
The audience sounds a little dead. Very dead. Idk if it’s an audio issue or if the audience is being kind of lame.
OOOO I looooove VCARB’s livery holy shit??? Gorgeousssss beautiful amazing.
There’s not much green but idc it doesn’t need it, it’s gorgeous.
Got jumpscared by Helmut Marko lurking the background of the audience jeez.
Why are we singing about pickup trucks? Pee/alcohol refill break.
Haas Haas Haas yippeee (weird time to hit the ‘yeehaw American team shaking up the establishment 😎🤠’ angle, ngl 😓)
I’m realizing I don’t remember any of last year’s liveries. Something is new about the Haas that I like though. Insightful of me, I know!!
(From post-event me after checking: the silver looks really good, I like that it’s more silver this year!)
Esteban and Ollie look nice in the black overalls! Esteban immediately starting by thanking the crowd, I love him 🥹
I’m really excited to watch Haas hopefully continue to improve this season.
Esteban skipping off the stage, you are so dear to me.
Why is Fernando Alonso glaring at me behind Jack Whitehall?
Tax evasion mention lfggggg
Alpine DJ set is a thing that is happening I suppose. And the cut to Flavio Briatore watching the DJ with his mouth hanging open lol.
Nasty work to highlight Brazil 2024 after how they treated Esteban ngl.
Car looks nice idk I’m mad at Flavio Briatore again. Ok it looks really nice idk. That glossy blue wow. With the pink BWT text, looks good. Like it a lot! Don’t like Flavio Briatore at all!
OMG Chloe and Dorianne and Tina and Alba eeee!!!
SUSIE WOLFF MY WIFE
EVERYONE AUDIBLY BOOING WHEN THEY MENTIONED THE FIA whoaaaa. Based.
Aston’s James Bond theme is either entirely corny or a slay and I can’t figure out which, but I’m enjoying it.
Aston’s slaying their intro ngl, this is amazing. Tems and the violins are gorgeoussss. The car doesn’t look shockingly different, but that green is always 😍😍😍
Oh no, F1 movie promo time 🙄
Mercedes with the “Every dream needs a team” again, was that not Lewis’s farewell slogan? Weird.
Apparently they botched their mock pit stop, I was on my phone 😭 Gotta go back later and watch again lol.
Oh the glimmers of silver on the Mercedes air box and nose looks pretty. It looks really nice!
Kimi, my son (aka I found out a few hours ago that he was a Vettel fan growing up)
Omg asking Gordon Ramsey about the swearing ban with Stefano Domenicalli looking on suspiciously in the back. HE’S IN SUPPORT OF CURSING LFGGGG
OMG he said “if the shit hits the fan” into the mic before it got yanked away, what a king.
I hope MBS is sulking somewhere.
I’ve had too much alcohol for spelling Domenicalli to be easy.
Redbull time lfg. (they have to be purple I can’t do more blue, Tumblr needs to let us have more colors)
Is Christian Horner getting booed??? Deserved.
I too would drive unsafely to chase down the Redbull Racing truck.
The car looks the same wow! Shocking! Redbull can’t go wrong with the classic look though ngl I’d be horrified if they changed it.
I can’t help but wonder if the curse of Redbull four-time world champion immediately turned father will hit and end the era of Max dominance.
People booing Max is kinda…….. idk. :/
They flipped straight to Ferrari damn, no comments from Max or Liam. I wonder if that was planned or if they took too much time in the schedule? Or wanted to skip away from the booing?
FRATELLI D’ITALIA ITALIA SE DESTA
I hope it’s that dark red please be that dark red the dark red is soooo sexy
They’re really edging us with this lead up
Every day I fight to not become a tifosa, every day I feel the siren’s song calling stronger and stronger
I did just finish memorizing the snippet they play on the podium of the Italian anthem but like in a suuuuper casual way. Knee deep in the passenger’s seat and whatnot.
IT’S THE DARK SEXY RED LETS FUCKING GOOOOO I actually shrieked in excitement
Omg and the white accent stripe?! I think I kind of like it, but not fully decided. Regardless, the dark red makes me love it.
LEWIS IN RED LEWIS IN RED
I don’t even care that HP is an eyesore, Ferrari you are so beautiful to me
Charles saying he thinks he’ll fulfill his dream to become a WDC??? SAY LESS LFG
The red dream 🥹🥹
The audience is very audible now that they’re all cheering for Lewis.
Lewis sounds emotional 🥹
I think I’m losing the battle of not being a tifosa.
Mclaren time :/
Make it red and chrome again pls
Wait I forgot who Mclaren’s engine supplier is now, is it still Mercedes? Could easily go back to chrome if so, just call up Vodafone again and then boom bam done.
Ohhhhhh they have some of their old cars on stage. Very very cool.
I think I would like Mclaren a lot more if they let Andrea Stella actually act like a team principal and hid Zak Brown in some corner ngl. Sorry the alcohol is speaking through me like a demon.
“We wanted to stay consistent with last year’s livery” aww boooo
Okay so no change other than some blue under the Dell and “DP world” (whatever that is 👀 freaky ass sponsor) logo
Suits exactly the same, cars exactly the same, all while they have Fittipaldi, Senna, Hakkinen, and Hamilton’s old Mclaren cars on stage? 🥲 Aww
Why did Whitehall say dankeschön like that dancwushun uh ok
Overall livery winner for me: VCARB, 100%. Ferrari is a very close second with that new dark red color bc wowww, but VCARB looks so good. And they made a pretty dramatic change from last year’s livery and really pulled it off.
Also Jack Whitehall, you have almost redeemed yourself to me, that was great.
I forgot to make overnight oats before the event, but my roommate is asleep 😔 Devastating.

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

La casa de los espíritus - Isabel Allende
La casa de los espíritus es la primera novela de la escritora chilena Isabel Allende, publicada en Barcelona por la editorial Plaza & Janés en 1982. Tuvo un éxito inmediato de superventas a nivel internacional, ha sido traducida a numerosos idiomas. Calificada dentro del realismo mágico, la novela incorpora elementos inverosímiles y extraños a lo ordinario. La historia relata la vida de la familia Trueba a lo largo de cuatro generaciones desde inicios del siglo XX hasta los años 70 y sigue los movimientos sociales y políticos del período poscolonial de Chile. Está narrada desde la perspectiva de dos de sus protagonistas, Esteban y Alba Trueba (abuelo y nieta), y de un tercer narrador omnisciente testigo. Los acontecimientos retratados en ella tratan sobre el amor, la familia, la muerte, los fantasmas, las clases sociales, la revolución, la política, los ideales y lo maravilloso.

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.

The Importance of Being Earnest: Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are both in love with the same mythical suitor. Jack Worthing has wooed Gwendolen as Ernest while Algernon has also posed as Ernest to win the heart of Jack's ward, Cecily. When all four arrive at Jack's country home on the same weekend the "rivals" to fight for Ernest's undivided attention and the "Ernests" to claim their beloveds pandemonium breaks loose. Only a senile nursemaid and an old, discarded hand-bag can save the day!
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. Their daughter, Blanca, whose forbidden love for a man Esteban has deemed unworthy infuriates her father, yet will produce his greatest joy: his granddaughter Alba, a beautiful, ambitious girl who will lead the family and their country into a revolutionary future. The House of the Spirits is an enthralling saga that spans decades and lives, twining the personal and the political into an epic novel of love, magic, and fate.

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.
- Adrian Piper, ‘Everything #2.8’’ (2007)

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.

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.
