This is an automatically translated description

Clarice Lispector's latest novel is rightly considered the crown of one of Latin America's most famous writers. As if with magic scissors, the writer cuts off the thoughts of poverty, fear, love and death from the reader (certainly a biased one). And at the same time, she skilfully guides him through the mysteries of life, leaving hope for happiness somewhere deep in his soul.

The novel consists of short fragments that Lispector and her secretary Olga Borelli have been carefully collecting for a long time. Clarice did not know that she was dying at the time, so she was in no hurry, although the text is full of premonitions of impending death. The novel was first published in 1977, two months before the author's death. In 1986, the film based on the novel won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for Best Actress.
