A Breath of LifeClarice LispectorLabel: Penguin ClassicsDescription: A Breath of Life is Clarice Lispector's final novel 'written in agony' which she did not live to see published. Sensual and mysterious it is a mystical dialogue between a god-like author and the creation he breathes life into: the speaking shifting indefinable Angela Pralini. As he has created Angela so eventually he must let her die for life is merely 'a kind of madness that death makes.' This is a unique elegiac meditation on the creation of life and of art.
