Hoy conoceremos un poco de la novela El Amante Japonés, de la famosa escritora chilena Isabel Allende. La autora ha logrado trascender la barrera del idioma y sus obras se han traducido a más de 42 idiomas. Es considerada como la escritora viva más leída del mundo de la lengua española.

La novela de la cual leeré los fragmentos aborda la relación entre Alma Belasco y el jardinero japonés Ichimei, pero la trama se desarrolla con inusitados escenarios y personajes que acompañan y enriquecen el relato.
