"...I was mesmerized by the existential imagery Ms. Lispector created, as well as the way the story flowed along. Every verbal brushstroke of the landscape, description of the heat of the day, and character nuance seemed heightened in a way I'd never experienced with any other book I'd read before, or for that matter, since. I have read "The Apple" two more times since this experience, and have been met with the same sense of awe as I'd experienced in the first reading..." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one', this intoxicating portrayal of a man searching for his destiny is her mystical, enigmatic masterpiece

'All I've got is hunger. And that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall'

Martim, believing that he has committed a murder, flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through the vastness of nature he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely.

Translated by Benjamin Moser

'The most important Brazilian woman writer of the twentieth century... The richness of The Apple in the Dark defies the explanatory power of any single interpretation' TLS
