Palomita Blanca (Spanish for "Little White Dove") is a 1971 novel written by Enrique Lafourcade. More than fifty editions (including "reprintings") have been published, making the novel the most widely sold novel in the history of Chilean literature, with more than a million copies sold. It was written at a conflictive time in Chile's history (events leading into the election of Salvador Allende as President) and it was a sentimental time in world popular culture (events such as rock concerts and drug use). Most critics saw the novel as a knee-jerk response to Erich Segal's Love Story. A New York Times No. 1 bestseller, Segal's book became the top selling work of fiction for all of 1970 in the United States, and was translated into more than 20 languages worldwide.

  • Palomita Blanca es una novela del escritor chileno Enrique Lafourcade, publicada en 1971. Hasta el año 2016 había vendido más de 1.100.000 ejemplares en más de setenta ediciones. Es una de las novelas más vendidas en la historia de la literatura chilena. Se ha convertido en una lectura obligatoria para los escolares chilenos. Se trata de una novela realista, que recoge las inquietudes de una época convulsionada. Si bien la novela transcurre entre los años 1970 y 1971, el periodo histórico en el que se centra es, específicamente, la elección presidencial de 1970, en la que compitieron Radomiro Tomic, Jorge Alessandri y el presidente Salvador Allende. La novela, narrada en primera persona, cuenta la historia de una joven adolescente chilena a través de sus propios ojos. Maria Acevedo Acevedo es una joven de 15 años que vive con su tía viuda, esto tras haber sido abusada a la edad de 8 años por Don Beno, la pareja de su madre. Un día, con Telma, una amiga mayor que trabaja en una fuente de sodas, van a un festival de música Hippie en el barrio alto de Santiago. Ahí conocerá a Juan Carlos Eguirreizaga Montt, un chico de clase alta, de quien se enamorará perdidamente. Este amor se verá truncado por diversos factores: económicos, sociales, culturales e, incluso, religiosos. A lo largo de la novela se narrarán hechos históricos como, por ejemplo, las concentraciones a favor de los tres candidatos de 1970, el triunfo de Salvador Allende, los bombazos y el posterior asesinato del general René Schneider a manos del grupo terrorista Patria y Libertad. Si bien la novela toca temas importantes para la juventud como los objetivos, búsquedas y temores, la exploración de las drogas, la sexualidad y la vivencia religiosa, estos no son el tema central del texto. Cuenta con una versión en cine, realizada por Raúl Ruiz en 1973, aunque no fue estrenada sino años más tarde, en 1992, en conjunto con la edición de su banda sonora, compuesta e interpretada por el grupo chileno Los Jaivas.

  • Palomita Blanca (Spanish for "Little White Dove") is a 1971 novel written by Enrique Lafourcade. More than fifty editions (including "reprintings") have been published, making the novel the most widely sold novel in the history of Chilean literature, with more than a million copies sold. It was written at a conflictive time in Chile's history (events leading into the election of Salvador Allende as President) and it was a sentimental time in world popular culture (events such as rock concerts and drug use). Most critics saw the novel as a knee-jerk response to Erich Segal's Love Story. A New York Times No. 1 bestseller, Segal's book became the top selling work of fiction for all of 1970 in the United States, and was translated into more than 20 languages worldwide. The motion picture of the same name was the number one box office attraction of 1971. Thus most media comments in Santiago called Lafourcade's novel "the Chilean love story." Lafourcade's marriage with Maria Luisa Señoret had ended three years earlier, and he reportedly wrote the novel inspired by his later pareja, about whom he remained quite secretive. A film based on the novel was made in 1973 by Raúl Ruiz, which was at one time believed lost forever, but a print was later found in the vaults of . Music for the film was written and performed by Los Jaivas. A translation to Portuguese was published in Brazil, but a translation to English by Joel Hancock of the University of Utah has remained unpublished. The story is of a working class naive teenage girl (María = Palomita) who meets a posh boy (Juan Carlos) in the Piedra Roja music festival. The love story goes wrong because of the class differences between the characters, and the naiveté of the girl who believes in the Cinderella story of a poor girl rescued by a rich and handsome prince. Juan Carlos is involved in extreme right-wing terrorism, and needs to leave the country in a hurry, leaving Palomita behind. The political tension that would later culminate in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état is brilliantly observed and described by writer Lafourcade. (en)
