Description

Near to the Wild Heart is a groundbreaking novel that tells the story of a young woman's life from childhood to transcendence. First published in 1943, this book introduced Brazil to the remarkable work of Clarice Lispector, a writer who would become known as "Hurricane Clarice" for her innovative style and powerful storytelling.

The book follows the life of a middle-class woman, from her early years to her unhappy marriage and its dissolution, as she grapples with the complexities of life and her own sense of identity. Through a series of narrative epiphanies and interior monologues, Lispector explores themes of love, loss, and transformation, creating a deeply personal and deeply moving portrait of a woman's journey towards self-discovery.

Translated into English for the first time, this new edition of Near to the Wild Heart offers readers a chance to experience Lispector's unique voice and vision, and to discover a writer who was ahead of her time.
