Summary/Abstract: Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” presents the evolution of four generations of a family, Trueba Del Valle, and covers more than half of the century, mirroring the changes in Chilean society and mentalities as well. Started as a letter to her dying grandfather, the novel deals with several issues such as ambition, politics, family, religion, change, relationships. Our paper, a part of a larger project, focuses on the relationships of Esteban Trueba with his family and those surrounding him, showing that childhood traumas shape Esteban by influencing his development and the way he relates to others
