La Ciudad de las Bestias (Memorias del Águila y del Jaguar 1)
La Ciudad de las Bestias (Memorias del Águila y del Jaguar 1) | Isabel Allende
En este primer volumen de las «Memorias del Águila y el Jaguar» Alexander Cold va a vivir una aventura que jamás olvidará. Alexander Cold es un muchacho americano de quince años que parte al Amazonas con su abuela Kate, periodista especializada en viajes. La expedición se interna en la selva en busca de una extraña bestia gigantesca. Junto a su compañera de viaje, Nadia Santos, y un centenario chamán indígena, Alex conocerá un mundo sorprendente. El universo ya conocido de Isabel Allende se amplía en La Ciudad de las bestias con nuevos elementos de realismo mágico, aventura y naturaleza. Los jóvenes protagonistas, Nadia y Alexander, se internan en la inexplorada selva amazónica llevando de la mano al lector en un viaje sin pausa por un territorio misterios donde se borran los límites entre la realidad y el sueño, donde hombres y dioses se confunden, donde los espíritus andan de la mano con los vivos. «Aquí está todolo que soy yo: toda mi manera de ser y de ver el mundo.» Isabel Allende

Un viaggio avvincente attraverso le foreste dell'Amazzonia. Allende non delude e finisce per strapparmi una lacrima :)

Wildly inventive & totally unrealistic YA novel about two kids on an expedition in the Amazon. For YA, it does speak on topics of drugs, death, and treachery in a pretty matter of fact way, but that could be the translation. Overall, wasn‘t really my thing. #AuthorAMonth

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is about a boy who travels with his grandmother to the Amazon to investigate the legendary Beast. There, he becomes friends with their guide‘s daughter Nadia and a local Indian tribe and discovers a plan to exterminate the Indians. It was boring in parts, but the end was well worth it. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Blueberry Did you know it's part of a 3 book series. I enjoyed them. 3y
saritaroth Yes I do know that but thank you for letting me know. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy. 3y

Alternated between Spanish and English. I prefer Allende's adult novel, but I think kids would like this and it's apropriate.

This teen adventure novel by celebrated Chilean author Isabel Allende was not my cup of tea at all. I found the plot overly simplistic and the moral lessons heavy handed. I won‘t be continuing with this trilogy, but I might try out her adult fiction at some point.

Amor4Libros I‘m a huge Allende fan and I agree this is not her best. Her adult fiction and memoirs are excellent! 5y
CindyE09 @Amor4Libros I own a few of her other books, so I might give them a go soon. I‘m not usually a huge fan of YA anyway so it was probably just me. 5y

#Rocktober Day 10: It seems few people are aware that Allende has a series of middle grade novels with a #WelcomeToTheJungle feel to it - set in the Amazon. Pretty riveting.

BarbaraBB I didn‘t know. Must check this out. I love everything about the Amazon! 6y

This pillow is giving a message to me! I've been in a reading slump. Just few pages daily. Tomorrow I'm going to a water park, and I'm hoping that hubby take care of the kiddos at least 1 hour to finish my current book The Book Thief.

This was the first in Allende's YA series, set in the Amazon rainforest. I read it years ago, but do remember enjoying it.

Cinfhen Cool cover and I like your graphics 😠7y

Started over breakfast this morning: salted caramel chocolate chip pancakes and scrambled eggs with coffee. Delicious, and I have leftovers for lunch!

Me encanto la historia. Tremendo desenlace. Pero el llamar a las personas todo el tiempo por nombre y apellido a veces me sacaba de casillas. Aparte de todo fue muy buen libro. Lo disfrute mucho.

Time flies! Six years ago we stood in this epic line (second only to John Green) at the National Book Festival to get Maggie's Spanish copy of City of Beasts (La ciudad de las bestias) signed by Isabel Allende. She was so wonderful and kind to Maggie. Great memories.

MrBook Awesome!!! 8y
