My Dissertation Series:Representing politics through magical realism; the study of Isabel Allende the house of the spirit and Ben okri The famished road

The purpose of this dessertation paper is to analyse politics by using magical realism in Ben okri's The Famished road and Isabel Allende The House of the Spirit. On the African continent magical realism and post colonialism have gone hand in hand in West and South Africa. Aaron, the Abiku nation of Nigeria, and the king of the unborn dwell in the spirit world and on earth. This is not a traditional coming of age narrative but a magical realist variant. Narrative magic and realism effect the change of order of the values hierarchy, the supernatural exercise control over the natural realism. The magical phenomenon exhales during Dad's unconsciousness which reflects the narratives usage of magic as an human life. 
In the novel The House of the Spirit, is a political novel and political into an epic novel of love, magic and fate. Through politics I analyse how to applied magical realism in two novels. Both novel include magical elements as a normal part of the families lives, although the magic in The House of spirits in mostly limited to the mother Clara. 
Through two widely accepted novels The Famished Road The House of the Spirit , Ben okri and Isabel Allende tries to show the politics through magical realism.
