Un libro lleno de amor y de humor que reconstruye, desde la evocación, la vida, la felicidad añorada y los espacios más queridos de Isabel Allende.

"Un libro que capta mi entera atención al exponer la relación de la autora con ese país suyo, inventado, imaginario, ficcional, con la historia de su familia, que a su vez es memoria in-ventada, con su vocación de escritora". --Jorge Edwards

Amor por Chile y una gran nostalgia son el origen de este libro: la presencia continuada del pasado, el sentimiento de verse ausente de la patria, la conciencia de haber sido peregrina y forastera... todo ello lo transmite Isabel Allende con inteligencia y humor. Aquí Chile deviene un país real y fantástico a la vez; una tierra estoica y hospitalaria, de hombres machistas y mujeres fuertes y apegadas a la tierra. Pero, sobre todo, es el escenario de su niñez. Evocados con gracia, cobran vida de nuevo su original familia, la casa de los abuelos, el ceremonial de las comidas, las historias de infidelidades... y los espíritus que siempre la han acompañado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A stunningly intimate memoir. . . . Allende is that rare writer whose understanding of story matches her mastery of language."--Entertainment Weekly

The revered New York Times bestselling author of House of the Spirits and A Long Petal of the Sea ponders the elements that led to her becoming a writer, including the homeland she lost and the one she found, and the family spirits, both living and dead, who haunt her life and work.
In this wondrous and intimate book, Isabel Allende explores the role of memory and nostalgia in shaping her life, her books, and that most intimate connection to her place of origin. My Invented Country brings her homeland of Chile to life in her unique voice, evoking the magnificent landscapes of her land, the almost mythic people of her family; the tragedy and hope of her people; and the politics, religion, and magic that infuse them all.

My Invented Country orbits two life-changing moments: the 1973 assassination of her uncle Salvador Allende Gossens which sent her into exile and inspired her literary career; and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on her adopted homeland, the United States. Ping-ponging across distance and time, between past and present lives, it is a monumental tribute to history and the immigrant experience and a wise and personal consideration of what it means to pursue a reflective life in a cacophonous, contradictory world.

Inaccurate photo of scrub pants
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Scrubs fit fine. However. The string isn’t brown. It is a dark hunter green. So the nice looking contrast with the string that is shown in the pictures isn’t what was delivered. I contacted the manufacturer and they were zero help since I bought off of Amazon

Medium fits 5’8” 148-155 comfortably
Size: Medium, Color: Ceil Blue
These scrubs are just like the OR scrubs I’ve been provided by my jobs as a travel nurse. Durable, medium weight, wash and wear. Medium fits my 5’8” 148 - 155 lb hour glass figure. Kinda snug at 155 but I’m losing the holiday fluff to stay in this size.

Comfy!
I know my picture is not a good picture of the pants. Love these scrubs. They are reversible which makes the pants fit weird at first but once the draw string is tied. They fit good. My underwear doesn’t show when i bend down (this is something most women’s scrubs do). Material is thin and breathable but not see-through. I love this blue color and I will definitely be getting more colors.

Very inconsistent in sizing.
Size: Small, Color: Misty Green
These scrub pants are a beautiful color and soft fabric. The down side to the Medline scrub pants is that they vary so much in size.

Way too big
Size: Medium, Color: Wine
I used to love these scrubs, however things have changed. The sizes are not consistent. I ordered 2 medium pants & each have a different fit (both of which feel like an XL)
