Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one', this intoxicating portrayal of a man searching for his destiny is her mystical, enigmatic masterpiece 'All I've got is hunger. And that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall' Martim, believing that he has committed a murder, flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through the vastness of nature he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely. Translated by Benjamin Moser 'The most important Brazilian woman writer of the twentieth century...

Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. Jacket is wrapped in plastic dust jacket and in great condition. Plastic dust jacket is lightly stained on front cover, not affecting legibility of text. Cover is in excellent condition. Spine is shaken, but binding is secure. Inside is clean and unmarked.
a very good book by one of the very best authours of the 20th century, Clarice Lispector. Although I like Stream of Life and Passion according to GH better, this is also a very good book by an author that has yet to be fully recognized as the genius she was.
