The Besieged City
Published by Penguin Books Ltd, GB, 2019
ISBN 10: 0241371376 ISBN 13: 9780241371374
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: New. 'One of the hidden geniuses of the twentieth century' Colm Tóibín'She suddenly leaned toward the mirror and sought the loveliest way to see herself'Lucrécia Neves is vain, unreflective, insolently superficial, almost mute. She may have no inner life at all. As she morphs from small-town girl to worldly wife of a rich man, and her small home town surrenders to the forces of progress, Lucrécia seeks perfection: to be an object, serene, smooth, beyond the burden of words or even thought itself. A book that obsessed its author, The Besieged City is unlike any other work in Lispector's canon: a story of transformation, of what it means to see and to be seen.

The Besieged City (Paperback)
Published by Penguin Books Ltd, London, 2019
ISBN 10: 0241371376 ISBN 13: 9780241371374
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Clarice Lispector's revelatory third novel, now in English for the first timeWritten in flight from Lispector's 'shipwreck of introspection' it is a book unlike any other in the Lispector canon, a novel about simply seeing the external world. Its heroine Lucrecia is utterly mute and unreflective. She may have no inner life. The plot itself is utterly unlike any other Lispector narrative- small-town girl marries rich man, sees the world, and lives happily ever after.But there are miraculous horses, linguistic ecstasies, catty remarks, minor characters' visions and music from unknown sources. There is Lucrecia, the heroine free of the burden of thought, who 'leaned over without any individuality, trying merely to look at things directly'. And yet her 'mere' looking leads, as Lispector's biographer Benjamin Moser notes, 'paradoxically but inevitably, to Clarice's own metaphysical concerns. As it turns out, not being profound is simply another way of being profound'.Translated by Johnny Lorenz Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
