Style and Technique
The House of the Spirits is a novel written in the genre of magical realism. Isabel Allende uses rich, vivid language, weaving together real history and mythology to tell the multifaceted story of the Trueba family. The structure of the novel is nonlinear: it shifts between characters and time periods, and the use of extensive details and symbols enriches the text. The author masterfully combines historical events in Chile with fantastical elements, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of each temporal layer. The language of the work is filled with metaphors and comparisons, creating a unique stylistic texture and highlighting the emotional depth of the characters.
