post 4: my favorite book

My favorite author is the Chilean Isabel Allende.  I like almost all her novels because she works the magical realism  with mastery and clarity, along with feminism.

 I really like reading. By the doctorate, I read a lot, especially books and scientific papers. For pleasure, I enjoy reading novels, especially with female protagonists.

My favorite book is the novel "La casa de los espíritus"  of Isabel Allende. It is a beautiful novel that tells the story of the family through the time and the history of Chile, with its tragedies, their loves and spirits. It is a big novel that made its author famous Isabel Allende.

On the other hand, the last book I read was  "Santa María de las flores negras", novel the Chilean writer Hernán Rivera Letelier. In this novel the author tells the story of the massacre of the school "Santa Maria de Iquique,  event occurred on December 21, 1907. 

It is a historical novel of great value and strength, which tells the story of the workers movement in the pampas,  It relates the stop of activities of the saltpetre workers, their terrible walk through the desert looking to reach the port of Iquique, where they believed they would be heard and would find an answer to their demands. In Iquique they were installed in the basic school "Domingo Santa María", in the center of the city and in later days, they were massacred by the military. I highly recommend it to all.
