An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures - Lispector Clarice - książka

Recognized as an outstanding author of the past century, Guardina describes one such writer as possessing a unique ability to craft prose as if no one had done so before, according to Colm Toibin. In the narrative, a character named Lori deeply desires love but struggles with self-doubt and the idea of forming a connection with someone else. The storyline unfolds as she encounters Ulisses, a Philosophy Professor, compelling her to face her fears. Both characters come to understand that to truly connect with another, they must first embrace their individuality. The book, to which Clarice Lispector alluded by saying, "I humanized myself," delves into the mysteries of relationships and the essence of loving and being loved. The text has been translated by Stefan Tobler and edited by Benjamin Moser, featuring an afterward by Sheila Heti.
