«Paula» is the autobiography of Isabel Allende, published by Fayard in paperback (456 pages, in French).
Isabel Allende writes these pages at the bedside of her daughter Paula, in a coma since December 1991, and dedicates them to her as a tribute. The narrative combines childhood memories, family history, exile after the military coup and the struggle to make her way in a sexist society, reconstructing her life to cling to memory.
The work was originally published in 1994; this 1995 French edition includes the translation by Pierre Guillaumin and belongs to Fayard's Littérature étrangère collection.
For readers of memoirs and biographies, and for followers of Isabel Allende interested in her autobiographical dimension.
