Clarice Lispector didn't write stories, she wrote feelings in the form of words. Born in 1920 in Ukraine, she arrived in Brazil as a baby and adopted the Portuguese language as if she had invented it.

​

Graduated in Law, she soon threw herself into journalism and literature, making her debut with ‘Near to the Wild Heart’, which already won an award. Her books - from ‘The Hour of the Star’ to ‘The Passion According to G.H.’ - are full of epiphanies. - are full of epiphanies, existentialism and phrases you've probably seen on social media (even those she's never said).

​

With her enigmatic and introspective style, Clarice became an icon of Brazilian literature, proving that depth can be found even in the gesture of eating a cockroach.
