PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE APPLE IN THE DARK...

Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one'  this intoxicating portrayal of a man
searching for his destiny is her mystical  enigmatic masterpiece 'All I've got is hunger. And
that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall' Martim  believing
that he has committed a murder  flees the city and escapes into the night. Wandering through
the vastness of nature he arrives  in a state of fear and wonder  at a remote ranch run by two
women. There Martim finds work and  as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian
summer  becomes transfigured  remade into something else entirely. Translated by Benjamin Moser
'The most important Brazilian woman writer of the twentieth century... The richness of The
Apple in the Dark defies the explanatory power of any single interpretation' TLS
