About El plan infinito / The Infinite Plan

Historia de grandiosa concepción, El plan infinito recrea medio siglo de la sociedad norteamericana en la vida de su protagonista.

Ésta es la historia de Gregory Reeves, un gringo que sobrevive en el difícil mundo de los hispanos de California. Gregory quiere llevar a la práctica el peculiar «plan infinito» que se trazó a sí mismo en su infancia. Sin embargo, para conseguirlo debe recorrer un duro camino lleno de obstáculos: la marginación social, el racismo, el brutal contraste entre pobreza y riqueza o la guerra de Vietnam.

Reseña:
«Sin ninguna duda, esta novela ambiciosa y totalizadora certifica la plena madurez de Isabel Allende, que conquista por mérito propio un sólido espacio en la escritura del continente mestizo.»
Nelson Marra, El Mundo


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Allende is one of the most important novelists to emerge from Latin America in the past decade.” (Boston Globe)

An enthralling tale of one man’s search for love and his struggle to contend with the pain and deprivation that shaped him.
Born in the Hispanic barrio of Los Angeles, Gregory Reeves grew up in poverty, survived the killing fields of Vietnam, and is now a lawyer in San Francisco. Though he has successfully survived this hard journey, Gregory’s life has suddenly gone off the rails thanks to an illusory and wrongheaded quest that has left him feeling lost and listless. To find what he is missing and what his heart truly wants, he must return to his roots. Only by excavating the past can he see the way to his future.
