Isabel Allende is considered to be among the greatest ever Latin American novelists. Her very successful novels are a mix of reality and mysticism. They are often based on her own experiences of life and of being a woman. She travels the world giving lectures and promoting her books. In 2003 she became a US citizen and currently lives in California with her family.
伊莎贝尔·阿连德被誉为最优秀的拉美小说家之一。她的代表作是现实与魔幻的综合体,取自她的亲生经历和女人的本能。她在全世界巡回演讲,推广她的书。2003年她成为美国公民,现在与她的家人居住在加利福尼亚。
Allende was born in Lima, Peru in 1942. Her father was the Chilean ambassador. She is a distant cousin of former Chilean president Salvador Allende. Her family moved around a lot when she was young because of the political uncertainty 1 in Chile in the 1960s. She grew up and went to school in Chile, Bolivia and Lebanon, where she learnt English.
阿连德1942年出生在秘鲁利马。她的父亲是智利大使。她是前智利总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德的侄女。19世纪60年代,因为智利政局多变,阿连德小时候就随家人到处搬家。她在智利、玻利维亚和黎巴嫩长大上学,并学会了英语。
Allende got married when she was 20. She became successful early on and had a variety of jobs. She was a well-known TV personality and a journalist for a feminist 2 magazine. Between 1959 and 1965, she worked for the UN in Chile and Belgium. She also translated romantic novels from English to Spanish, which sparked her desire to write.
阿连德20岁结婚,事业很早就取得成功,做过很多种工作。她是众所周知的的电视名人,女性杂志的记者。1959至1965年间,阿连德在智利和比利时为联合国工作。她也曾把从英语版的浪漫小说译为西班牙语版的小说,这鼓舞了她写作的愿望。
Pablo Neruda, a famous Chilean poet, told Allende she had too much imagination to be a journalist and should write novels instead. In 1981, she started writing her dying grandfather a letter. This eventually transformed into her first best seller 'The House of the Spirits'(1982). Allende was immediately compared to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. More best sellers, awards and international acclaim 3 followed.
一位著名的智利诗人巴勃罗·聂鲁达告诉阿连德她想象丰富,当记者不合适,应该写小说。1981年,阿连德为她奄奄一息的祖父写了一封信。这封信最终成为她的第一部畅销书——《幽灵之家》(1982)。阿连德迅速成为与加西亚.马尔克斯比肩的人物。更多的畅销书、奖励和国际认可接踵而来。
