Summary: Magical stories from a master story teller
Review: 'Tell me a story no one has heard before !' Eva Luna's lover tells her, and Isabel Allende weaves for us on behalf of Eva Luna, a set of two dozen magical stories which bring out the pathos, love, joy and misery of life in Latin America. Nearly all the stories have a magical quality, but some of them are simply enchanting. 'Two Words', the story of Belissa Crepsculario, who makes a living by selling words is one such piece. I was fascinated by the power of Allende's language and her ability to craft her narrative to perfection. The last story of the book about a TV cameraman's inability to save a young girl stuck in an avalanche is a masterpiece in its own right. There are a number of dictators and tyrants in the book and Allende manages to assign a touch of vulnerability to each of these oppressors. Easily one of the best books from Latin America in the recent past,I would strongly recommend it to anyone willing to get addicted to the joy of storytelling or reading.

Summary: Great short stories from a terrific writer
Review: Although a few of the earlier stories in this book didn't quite catch my interest, most of the following ones did. In a big way.This book is a collection of short stories told in the style of "Sheherazade in 1001 nights". Each story has a little bit of magic in it, as is often the case with latin american literature, and interesting characters. I fell in love with this book, and wished for more. You'll enjoy it.

Summary: cuentos de eva luna
Review: HE LEIDO MUCHOS LIBROS EN MI VIDA PERO NINGUNO COMO ESTE EN EL QUE PUEDES ENCONTRAR Y MEZCLAR PAZ Y REVOLUCION,DICTADURIA Y ESPERANZA A UNA DEMOCRACIA,AMOR Y SUENOS,EVA LUNA NO ES SOLO UNA MUJER QUE NARRA CUENTOS ES UNA MUJER QUE VIVE Y SIENTE CADA UNA DE LAS HISTORIAS QUE SU MENTE REGALA A TODOS LOS QUE LAS QUIERAN ESCUCHAR. EN LO PERSONAL CONSIDERO AL LIBRO LLENO DE RIQUEZAS,SABIDURIA,SORPRENDENTEMENTE HUMANO SIMPLEMENTE UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE ISABEL ALLENDE.

Summary: Que idioma......what language
Review: I am reading Cuentos de Eva Luna in spanish and would very much like to read the same book in english to compare the two. That is, if it is published in english. I think it would be very helpful if the reviews you post more clearly indicated whether they are reviews of a book written in spanish or written (translated) into english. Just a thought. BTW, the spanish version is excellent.

Summary: Better than Eva Luna
Review: The "Stories of Eva Luna" is a wonderful book, much better than "Eva Luna", it's predecessor. This book is about the different stories that Eva Luna tells her lover. There is no need to read "Eva Luna", though it is helpful because both combined complete a fantastic tale.
