«Mi país inventado» is Isabel Allende's autobiographical essay, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback (219 pages, in Spanish).
Isabel Allende starts from love and nostalgia for Chile to combine personal memory and history: her childhood, her family, exile after the 1973 coup, and the condition of being an outsider. With an intimate tone and humour, between autobiography and essay, she portrays a real and imagined country and reflects on identity, belonging, and memory.
This work corresponds to the first edition, published in 2003 within the Areté Essay collection (number 1077).
For readers of memoirs and biographies, with an interest in the history and identity of Chile.
