Description
An Apprenticeship Or the Book of Pleasures by Clarice Lispector is a deeply personal and psychological exploration of love and connection. Lóri's yearning for love is tempered by her fear of herself and others, and it is only when she meets Ulisses, a Professor of Philosophy, that she is forced to confront her insecurities.
As Lispector so eloquently puts it, 'I humanized myself', this book is a profound examination of the unknowability of the other in a relationship, and what it means to love and be loved. Translated by Stefan Tobler and edited by Benjamin Moser with an Afterword by Sheila Heti, An Apprenticeship Or the Book of Pleasures is a thought-provoking and deeply human work.
With its unique blend of philosophy, psychology, and romance, this book offers a nuanced and insightful look at the complexities of human relationships. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the depths of the human experience.
