Contact seller5-star sellerHard Cover. Condition: Fine. Centennial Edition. First Edition, fourth printing of the Centennial Edition. Hard cover, 16 mo, in printed paper covered boards with stars in gold, titles to the spine in gold. Without dust jacket, as issued. Gold colored end papers with reviews. vii- viv, 93pp. CONDITION: Fine, like new. ISBN 978-0…-8112-3004-9. Features a new translation, reminiscence by her son, and introduction by novelist Colm Tóbín. "Clarice Lispector"s final novel, initially published under the name "A hora da estrela" in her native Portuguese in 1977. A powerfully written and unfinished novelette by the Ukrainian transplant to Brazil, novelist and short story writer Clarice Lispector. (1920-1977.) As described by her admiring introductory writer Colm Tóbín, Lispector's unflinching originality was born of an "outsider" self-trained mentality, in which she rarely read, and therefore managed not to imitate others in syntax, style or substance. In this case, her valedictory novel's action takes the reader on a philosophical journey of the narrator, a man, who observes the main character, Macabéa, a simple impoverished, lonely office worker in Rio de Janeiro with little sympathy, sometimes impatience and always with an eye to his own interests. A fortune teller plays an important role in Macabéa's pursuit of a belatedly planned future in this striking piece of modern writing. ISBN 978-0-8112-3004-9. (AMJ). Book.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 128 pages. Published in 2020. The author's last novel. Clarice Lispector's masterpiece. The Special Centennial Edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in an e…legant, collectible format, Clarice Lispector's "The Hour of The Star" in THE definitive English translation by Benjamin Moser, her biographer. Introduction by Colm Toibin, one of the greatest writers of our time. Improbably intertwines Rodrigo, the cosmopolitan narrator, with Macabea, his desperately poor character-subject. Then: "Working them like a pair of scissors, Lispector cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Clarice Lispector collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First "Special Centennial" Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The few remaining copies available online have serious flaws ("Good", "Very Good") or are in multiple subsequent printings, and have no collectible value. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Benjamin Moser regards Clarice Lispector as the greatest Jewish writer since Franz Kafka. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CLARICE LISPECTOR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 081123004X. no.
