Allende's inventiveness justifies her own comparisons of her literary creation to Scheherazade, and throughout all these short works whispers the mysticism of Eva Luna herself-her well-placed faith in a world of spirits and in the immortality of human love. Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carlé, Eva answers his request for a story 'you have never told anyone before' with these twenty-three samples of her vibrant artistry. Many of the stories build on the intricate attachments of unlikely lovers, such as a dictator and the foreign woman he abducts or a criminal and a judge's wife. Eva Luna is a young woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. In 1988, she introduced the world to Eva Luna in a novel of the same name that recounted the adventurous life of a young Latin American woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love.

A simple lyricism evokes European emigres to South America social climbers outlaws schoolteachers Indians a nearly indefatigable imagination explores the critical moments in these figures' lives. Isabel Allende is one of the world’s most beloved authors. As she relates a tale of twenty-three interwoven parts, she knits a kaleidoscopic portrait of the people and landscape of South America. Allende's people are warm-blooded, original, memorable. Eva Luna, entwined with her lover in bed, is asked to tell him a story you have never told anyone before. Although other figures from that novel also reappear (for example, Eva Luna spins her stories at the request of her lover Rolf Carle), this collection is in no sense a sequel: indeed, each piece here can stand alone. The Stories of Eva Luna by best-selling author Isabel Allende is a follow-up collection of short stories based on the main character of the novel Eva Luna. The eponymous heroine of Eva Luna returns as the narrator of 23 tales, sumptuous marriages of Chilean writer Allende's earthy characters and her celestial version of magical realism.
