Through this translation of As Tres Marias the literary
achievements of Rachel de Queiroz may at last be judged and
appreciated by the English-reading public. Since none of her four
novels has previously been translated into English, The Three
Marias will be, for many non-Brazilians, an introduction to this
nationally known South American author whose books have been widely
praised for their artistic merits. Her literary works are colored
by her projected personality, by an intense feeling for her own
people, by an omnipresent social consciousness, and by personal
experiences in the arid backlands of her native state of Ceara.
Basing this story on certain of her own recollections from the
nineteen-twenties, Rachel de Queiroz tells of a girl growing up in
the seaport town of Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. Professor
Ellison, whose special field is Brazilian and Spanish-American
literature, has captured in his translation the author's graceful
style and simplicity of language, and has successfully retained the
perspective of an idealistic and gradually maturing girl.
