Description
Book Synopsis
A profound exploration of the art and magic of writing by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende.
In this deeply personal and insightful memoir, Isabel Allende delves into her creative process, reflecting on nearly half a century of writing that has captivated millions of readers worldwide.
For Isabel, writing is more than a craft. It is an addiction, a means of preserving memory, and a way to make sense of life. She offers readers an intimate glimpse into her creative world, where stories take shape through intuition, discipline, and a deep connection to the human experience. It is also a glimpse into the life of a writer who views literature as a portal to understanding the chaos of life.
Story Telling is not a prescriptive guide to writing. Rather, it is a conversation. In it, Isabel shares her triumphs, mistakes, and lessons learned from the challenges and joys of writing. She intertwines her own stories with invaluable wisdom for anyone pursuing the craft, making this book equally a memoir, a masterclass in the alchemy of storytelling, and a celebration of the enduring power of stories.
