A Breath of Life is Clarice Lispector's last published novel, 'written in agony'. Sensual and mysterious, it is a mystical dialogue between a god-like author and the creation he breathes life into- the speaking, shifting, indefinable Angela Pralini.
Clarice Lispector (Author)
Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short-story writer.
Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. She was
born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I
and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and
eventually Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the
Wildheart, in 1943, when she was just twenty-three, and the next
year was awarded the Gra a Aranha Prize for the best first novel.
She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel,
The Hour of the Star.
