La forêt des pygmées (Littérature Etrangère)

Allende's vivid descriptions make the forest feel alive, but I'm curious about whether real landscapes or myths influenced the world-building.

The fantasy aspects seemed to mirror their inner growth—did others find that the magic was more than just window dressing?

The book explores cultural identity and tradition while weaving in fantasy—was this balance effective or did it feel uneven at times?
