Here, gathered in one volume, are the stories that made Clarice a
Brazilian legend. Originally a cloth edition of eighty-six stories,
now we have eighty- nine in all, covering her whole amazing career,
from her teenage years to her deathbed. In these pages, we meet
teenagers becoming aware of their sexual and artistic powers,
humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected
epiphanies, old people who don't know what to do with themselves-
and in their stories, Clarice takes us through their lives-and
hers-and ours.
'The morning became a long, drawn-out afternoon that became
depthless night dawning innocently through the house' Tales of
desire and madness from this giant of Brazilian literature. Penguin
Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the
iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a
concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here
are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman
Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson;
essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories
surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern
Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of
outer space.

The publication of Clarice Lispector's Complete Stories,
eighty-five in all, is a major literary event. Now, for the first

artistic powers to humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by
unexpected epiphanies to old people who don't know what to do with
themselves. Lispector's stories take us through their lives - and
ours. From one of the greatest modern writers, these 85 stories,
gathered from the nine collections published during her lifetime,
follow Clarice Lispector throughout her life.
