Un libro lleno de amor y de humor que reconstruye, desde la evocación, la vida, la felicidad añorada y los espacios más queridos de Isabel Allende.

"Un libro que capta mi entera atención al exponer la relación de la autora con ese país suyo, inventado, imaginario, ficcional, con la historia de su familia, que a su vez es memoria in-ventada, con su vocación de escritora". --Jorge Edwards

Amor por Chile y una gran nostalgia son el origen de este libro: la presencia continuada del pasado, el sentimiento de verse ausente de la patria, la conciencia de haber sido peregrina y forastera... todo ello lo transmite Isabel Allende con inteligencia y humor. Aquí Chile deviene un país real y fantástico a la vez; una tierra estoica y hospitalaria, de hombres machistas y mujeres fuertes y apegadas a la tierra. Pero, sobre todo, es el escenario de su niñez. Evocados con gracia, cobran vida de nuevo su original familia, la casa de los abuelos, el ceremonial de las comidas, las historias de infidelidades... y los espíritus que siempre la han acompañado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A stunningly intimate memoir. . . . Allende is that rare writer whose understanding of story matches her mastery of language."--Entertainment Weekly

The revered New York Times bestselling author of House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea ponders the elements that led to her becoming a writer, including the homeland she lost and the one she found, and the family spirits, both living and dead, who haunt her life and work.
In this wondrous and intimate book, Isabel Allende explores the role of memory and nostalgia in shaping her life, her books, and that most intimate connection to her place of origin. My Invented Country brings her homeland of Chile to life in her unique voice, evoking the magnificent landscapes of her land, the almost mythic people of her family; the tragedy and hope of her people; and the politics, religion, and magic that infuse them all.

My Invented Country orbits two life-changing moments: the 1973 assassination of her uncle Salvador Allende Gossens which sent her into exile and inspired her literary career; and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on her adopted homeland, the United States. Ping-ponging across distance and time, between past and present lives, it is a monumental tribute to history and the immigrant experience and a wise and personal consideration of what it means to pursue a reflective life in a cacophonous, contradictory world.

My favorite sunscreen!
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen for years and absolutely love the smell. I wanted to try a spray version as I hate the feeling of oily hands after applying sunscreen. This version sprays on super evenly and has that same beachy smell as the lotion! It stays on for hours and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. My go to sunscreen! With such high SPF as well, this sunscreen truly cannot be best for the value.

Almost the best but still fantastic
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a great and lightweight sunscreen for the body- for it’s accessibility factor the spray is very helpful if you have areas of skin that you can’t reach this works well - but in turn you will go through the bottle quickly- I pay out for 10-20 min at least every day and will use the bottle up in 2 weeks- if that bothers you switch to the lotion version of this sunscreen
