Considered one of the greatest names in Brazilian literature, Clarice Lispector debuted with the award-winning novel Near to the Wild Heart (1943), deserving passionate attention from critics, given the singularity of her writing. Besides being a novelist, author of the acclaimed The Passion According to G.H. (1964) and The Hour of the Star (1977), she established herself as a short story author thanks to titles such as Family Ties (1960) and The Foreign Legion (1964). Her oeuvre also includes children’s books and a vast number of chronicles. Her work today is widely translated and disseminated, with critics placing her works among internationally recognized authors such as Virginia Woolf, Kafka and Katherine Mansfield.
