Un pasado persiguiéndola. Un futuro aún por construir. Y un cuaderno para escribir toda una vida. «Soy Maya Vidal, diecinueve años, sexo femenino, soltera, sin un enamorado, por falta de oportunidades y no por quisquillosa, nacida en Berkeley, California, pasaporte estadounidense, temporalmente refugiada en una isla al sur del mundo. Me pusieron Maya porque a mi Nini le atrae la India y a mis padres no se les ocurrió otro nombre, aunque tuvieron nueve meses para pensarlo. En hindi, maya significa "hechizo, ilusión, sueño". Nada que ver con mi carácter. Atila me calzaría mejor, porque donde pongo el pie no sale más pasto.» «Esta Maya me ha hecho sufrir más que ningún otro de mis personajes. En algunas escenas le habría dado unas cachetadas para hacerla entrar en razón, y en otras la habría envuelto en un apretado abrazo para protegerla del mundo y de su propio corazón atolondrado.» Isabel Allende

A startling novel of suspense and resilience from New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende. Neglected by her parents, nineteen-year-old Maya Vidal grew up in a rambling old house in Berkeley with her grandparents. Her grandmother, Nidia, affectionately known as Nini, is a force of nature—a woman whose formidable strength helped her build a new life after she emigrated from Chile in 1973. Popo, Maya's grandfather, is an African American astronomer and professor—a gentle man whose solid, comforting presence helps calm the turbulence of Maya's adolescence. When Popo dies of cancer, Maya loses the only grounding force in her life. She turns to drugs, alcohol, and petty crime, eventually bottoming out in Las Vegas. Lost in a dangerous underworld, she is caught in the crosshairs of warring forces—a gang of assassins, the police, the FBI, and Interpol. Her one chance for survival is Nini, who helps her escape to a remote island off the coast of Chile. Here, Maya tries to make sense of the past, unravels mysterious truths about life and her family, and embarks on her greatest adventure: a journey of self-discovery and forgiveness.

La historia transcurre durante las vacaciones de verano.Chethan Dzong: Es un monasterio fortificado de los antiguos lamas que inventaron el tao-shu. Un terremoto en el siglo XIX destruyó el monasterio. Era una construcción de piedra, madera y ladrillo, con más de cien habitaciones, y que estaba pegada al borde de un precipicio. El terremoto, la nieve, el hielo y el transcurso del tiempo han erosionado gran parte del edificio, pero aún quedaban dos alas en pie, aunque en ruinas. En las ruinas del monasterio quedan raídos tapices de imágenes religiosas, cacharros y armas de monjes guerreros. Hay varias representaciones de Buda en diversas posiciones en el suelo.El Valle de los Yetis: Es una meseta volcánica. Parches de áspera vegetación verde gris, tupidos arbustos y grandes hongos de varias formas y colores. Hay arroyos y charcos de agua burbujeante, extrañas formaciones rocosas y del suelo surgen altas columnas de humo blanco.El hotel de Nueva Delhi: Es un palacio tallado en mármol blanco de manera extraordinaria. Los pisos están cubiertos por gigantescas alfombras de seda; los muebles son finas capas de maderas con incrustaciones de plata, nácar y marfil; sobre las mesas hay jarrones de porcelana rebosantes de flores perfumadas. Por todas partes crecen frondosas plantas tropicales en maceteros de cobre repujado y hay jaulas de complicada arquitectura, donde cantan pájaros de plumaje multicolor. El palacio había sido de un maharajá, quien perdió poder y fortuna y ahora lo alquilaba a una compañía hotelera americana.Fuerte Rojo: Había sido utilizado por las tropas inglesas en la época en que la India fue colonizada. Actualmente estaba desocupado. Los turistas visitaban sólo un parte de la enorme construcción. Muy poca gente conocía sus entrañas, un verdadero laberinto de corredores, salas secretes y caminos subterráneos que se extendían bajo la ciudad.La cueva de los guerreros azules: Era amplia y estaba compuesta de varias bóvedas o salas. Había bultos, armas, arreos de caballos, mantas, sacos con arroz, lentejas, verduras secas, nueces y largas trenzas de ajo. En un lugar prominente habían improvisado un espeluznante altar. Sobre un cúmulo de piedras se levantaba una estatua de la temible diosa Kali, rodeada de varias calaveras y huesos humanos, ratas, serpientes y otros reptiles disecados, vasijas con un líquido oscuro, como sangre, y frascos con escorpiones negros.

Direto e emocionante, O caderno de Maya nos apresenta a uma jovem forte e singular em sua jornada através da própria alma enquanto se encontra escondida em uma ilha remota na costa do Chile. Diferentemente dos classicos romances de Isabel Allende, O caderno de Maya, é passado nos dias atuais. A protagonista, uma rebelde garota americana de 19 anos, encontra refúgio em uma ilha remota da costa do Chile, depois de cair em uma vida de drogas, crime e prostituição. Ao refletir sobre sua nova vida de exilada, a garota relata a perseguição sofrida de assassinos, da polícia, do FBI e da Interpol nos Estados Unidos. Já em processo de calmaria de seu novo lar, Maya faz amizade com personagens inesquecíveis, entre eles, um sobrevivente de tortura e um cachorro muito especial. E acaba descobrindo um importante segredo familiar, capaz de mudar sua perspectiva sobre os eventos de sua vida. Além de compreender o verdadeiro significado do amor e da lealdade. Segundo Allende, a inspiração para escrever O caderno de Maya veio de eventos reais: o problema com drogas enfrentado pelos filhos de seu marido. O mais velho enfrentou problemas com heroína durante anos, entrando e saindo de diversas clínicas de reabilitação. A filha morreu de overdose, tendo até se prostituído. "Sou Maya Vidal, dezenove anos, sexo feminino, solteira, sem namorado — por falta de oportunidade, e não por frescura —, nascida em Berkeley, Califórnia, passaporte norte-americano, temporariamente refugiada numa ilha ao sul do mundo. Me chamaram de Maya porque minha Nini é fascinada pela Índia e não ocorreu outro nome a meus pais, mesmo tendo tido nove meses para pensar. Em hindi, maya significa "feitiço, ilusão, sonho". Nada a ver com o meu temperamento. Átila me cairia melhor, porque onde boto os pés não nasce mais pasto."

From the NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling author, a gripping murder mystery about a serial killer on the loose in San Francisco. Indiana Jackson is 33 years old and works in an alternative medicine clinic in San Francisco that attracts all sorts of characters, some of them skeptics, who fall for her candor and humility. Her teenage daughter, Amanda likes noir literature and hopes to attend MIT, where she will be with Bradley, an old friend that she plans to marry, with or without his consent. In her free time, she plays Ripper, an online role playing game that involves solving real-life mysteries and crimes using information collected by Amanda’s father, the Chief Inspector of the San Francisco police. Amanda plays the game via Skype with adolescents from all over the world and with her best friend, her grandfather Blake. Each player in the game has a virtual personality: Amanda is the game master, and Blake is her henchman; the others are Sherlock Holmes, Colonel Paddington, Esmeralda, and the psychic Abatha. When Ripper’s latest murder mystery-”the case of the misplaced bat”-begins to touch their real-world lives, Amanda and her friends know they must solve the case and find the murderer before he can strike again. RIPPER is a true thriller, with the twists, surprises, well-placed clues, and revelations that lead to a climatic finale. A rich and generous novel, filled with humor but increasingly dark, it’s a fast-paced read that grabs you right from the start and keeps you glued to the page.

In this heartfelt memoir, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of tragic loss—the death of her daughter, Paula. Recalling the past thirteen years from the daily letters the author and her mother, who lives in Chile, wrote to each other, Allende bares her soul in a book that is as exuberant and full of life as its creator. She recounts the stories of the wildly eccentric, strong-minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her that becomes a new kind of family. Throughout, Allende shares her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory. Here, too, are the amazing stories behind Allende’s books, the superstitions that guide her writing process, and her adventurous travels. Ultimately, The Sum of Our Days offers a unique tour of this gifted writer’s inner world and of the relationships that have become essential to her life and her work. Narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor, and wisdom, The Sum of Our Days is a portrait of a contemporary family, bound together by the love, fierce loyalty, and stubborn determination of a beloved, indomitable matriarch.

New York Times and worldwide bestselling author Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil that offers “a timely message about immigration and the meaning of home” (People). During the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory, Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house, seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant, Lucia Maraz, a fellow academic from Chile, for her advice. As these three lives intertwine, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice, the art of survival, and the essential nature of—and our need for—love.
