The City Of The Beasts

Book Review by: chicolisto     

Original Author: Isabel Allende
This abstract was translated from La ciudad de las bestias
This novel narrates an adventure in the Amazonian jungle, where the royal (real) thing, sometimes, gets confused with the
imaginary thing. It is a statement loaded with emotions and with descriptions that they draw to the landscape with clear metaphors. Values prevail as(like): the friendship, the empathy, the generosity, the gratefulness and the love for the nature that they are opposed to pride and to the greed. It (he, she) shows us how a girl born in the jungle, Nadia, and a child of city, Alex, converge his (her, your) hearts and go after bottomless truths. The child, in spite of his (her, your) short age, makes possible the impossible thing when it (he,she) goes in search of "waters down for the health" that would take to him (her) his (her, your) mother who suffers from cancer.
