Condition: Near Fine. First printing (stated). First edition of Morley (Brant)'s adolescent diary in Bishop's translation from the Portuguese.

Condition: BUONO USATO. Storie ITALIANO IL LIBRO à USATO, PERTANTO POTREBBE PRESENTARE LIEVI DIFETTI/IMPERFEZIONI. LA FOTO CORRISPONDE AL LIBRO IN VENDITA. Nella città brasiliana di Diamantina, tra il 1893 e il 1895, l'adolescente Helena annota con cura le sue giornate, i suoi pensieri e le storie - bizzarre e toccanti - della piccola comunità mineraria che la circonda. Di fronte a lei si muove una popolosa famiglia sottoposta all'indiscussa e benevola autorità della nonna, mentre la vita procede tra amori, miracoli, drammi e incontenibili gioie. Sono cronache di vita quotidiana che la giovane autrice racconta con un misto di stupore infantile e sorprendente consapevolezza. Pubblicato nel 1942, il libro otterrà in patria un clamoroso successo, replicato pochi anni dopo dall'edizione francese e quindi da quella inglese, curata dalla poetessa Elizabeth Bishop. Con la sua scrittura semplice ma straordinariamente precisa, "La mia vita da bambina" si offre oggi come un esempio di realismo magico ante litteram, affollato di personaggi indimenticabili, per i quali, a lettura conclusa, non si puà non provare nostalgia.
