Overview
G. H. —de quien nunca conoceremos el nombre completo— es una mujer independiente, escultora aficionada y bien conectada en los círculos más influyentes de Río de Janeiro. Un día, sola en su ático, vive una experiencia extraordinaria que la enfrenta a sus propios límites. Esta vivencia le provoca náuseas de repulsión y desata un torrente de reflexiones íntimas, algunas hasta entonces desconocidas para ella misma, sobre sus emociones, temores, angustias y la esencia de su existencia. Lo que parece un suceso trivial se transforma en un catalizador que la lleva a examinar su vida desde la infancia y, finalmente, a tomar la determinación de superar sus miedos más profundos.
«Considerada por muchos la obra maestra de Clarice Lispector».
«G.H. se convierte en una aliada de quienes habitan en la catástrofe, de todos nosotros que, en algún momento de nuestras vidas, nos hemos extraviado de nosotros mismos».
Luiz Fernando Carvalho
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Now in paperback, what many consider to be Clarice Lispector's masterpiece.
G. H. — whose full name we will never know — is an independent woman, an amateur sculptor, and well-connected in the most influential circles of Rio de Janeiro. One day, alone in her penthouse, she experiences an extraordinary event that confronts her with her own limits. This experience provokes nausea and repulsion and unleashes a torrent of intimate reflections, some previously unknown to her, about her emotions, fears, anxieties, and the essence of her existence. What seems like a trivial event transforms into a catalyst that leads her to examine her life from childhood and, ultimately, to decide to overcome her deepest fears.
"Considered by many to be Clarice Lispector's masterpiece."
"G.H. becomes an ally of those who dwell in catastrophe, of all of us who, at some point in our lives, have lost ourselves."
