Isabel Allende was born on August 2, 1942, in Lima, Peru, to Tomás and Francisca Allende. Isabel Allende is the goddaughter of Salvador Allende, the first socialist president of Chile who was her father's cousin. Allende’s father was a diplomat and deserted the family when Allende was just two years. Allende, her siblings, and mother then moved in with her grandfather in Chile.

Ernesto Guevara Iconic Status Aged twenty-four, Ernesto Guevara pens a regular letter home to Rosario, Argentina from his flat in Mexico. It concludes: "Things are moving with tremendous speed and no one can know, or predict, where or for what reason one will be next year"[1].
