Item Description

This item is a hardback copy of Isabel Allende's novel Zorro, signed by the author. Also included are a signed photo and a bookmark. A swashbuckling adventure story, Zorro reveals the history behind the legendary masked man.

Chilean author Isabel Allende won worldwide acclaim when her bestselling first novel, The House of the Spirits, was published in 1982. In addition to launching Allende’s career as a renowned author, the book, which grew out of a farewell letter to her dying grandfather, also established her as a feminist force in Latin America’s male-dominated literary world. 

She has since written nearly 20 more works, which have been translated into more than 30 languages and sold more than 57 million copies. Her works both entertain and educate readers by weaving intriguing stories with significant historical events. Her latest book, a novel, is Maya’s Notebook (to be published in English in 2013). Allende, who has received dozens of international tributes and awards over the last 30 years, describes her fiction as “realistic literature,” rooted in her remarkable upbringing and the mystical people and events that fueled her imagination. Her writings are equally informed by her feminist convictions, her commitment to social justice and the harsh political realities that shaped her destiny. 

Listen to her discuss women, creativity, feminism and passion at TED.
