I admit that if I see a novel called The Japanese Lover, and on top of that it's by Isabel Allende, I run to read it without thinking twice. A Japanese love story plus Allende's name is, for me, an impossible

Today I want to share my thoughts on a book I read several years ago, The Tunnel by Ernesto Sábato—a book that, in my opinion, is so beautifully written and has such depth in its prose that, personally,

A Necessary Introduction Forty-four years ago I studied a work from this book and fell in love with literature. That happened when I was in the tenth grade of pre-university. Two years ago I was given

Hello, fellow Worldmappin travelers! Lately, I’ve been researching my ancestors. That’s why, last Monday, I traveled to Havana to visit the National Library of Cuba in search of a book written about a

You cannot deny that Isabel Allende is one of those authors who become a refuge. I already confirmed that with The House of the Spirits, that family saga that caught me between ghosts, politics, and
