Este é uma releitura, eu o li pela primeira vez anos atrás, muito antes da internet ou do Goodreads, acredito que durante meu curso de Letras na UFPI, de 1978 a 1982, ou um pouco depois. Foi uma leitura fascinante à época, mas hoje foi melhor ainda, pois pude me reencontrar não somente com Macabéa, mas comigo mesma, enquanto uma nordestina que emigrou para o Sul, que se percebeu muitas vezes inviabilizada, e que hoje se vê como escritora. É uma escrita absolutamente magnífica, é muito difícil encontrar palavras para descrever meus sentimentos com relação a este livro e a esta releitura. Uma frase me marcou, não sobre a protagonista, mas sobre o ato de escrever: "Não, não é fácil escrever. É duro como quebrar rochas. Mas voam faíscas e lascas como aços espelhados". Amei!!

якось сумно читати, але Макабея не може не викликати посмішку. вона така проста і наївна, як дитина. цьому твору підійшла б назва «Маленьке життя».

She wasn’t crying because of the life she led: because, never having led any other, she’d accepted that with her that was just the way things were. But I also think she was crying because, through the music, she might have guessed there were other ways of feeling, there were more delicate existences and even a certain luxury of the soul.
p.42 (Penguin Modern Classics, 2011)
This is a story about an impoverished woman who is being materialised by a man she has not met and will never lay eyes upon.
Living in a world of sexism, hatred, discrimination and deceit, our intended main character is but a secondary being in her own story.
Her life, a tragedy in itself, was no more recognised by her than the ignorance she displayed of the world. Her beguiling innocence is one I will never forget. Though life had given her the short straw, she smiled politely in the face of intentional hurt. Where men disregarded her, women pitied. All but lay down their own vanity to guide, educate or enlighten our poor Macabea.
Words written to disgrace her only brought forth her virtue and spoke only of her kind heartedness and forgiving nature.
This, my first taste of Clarice Lespector, is a tragic but beautiful tale of how many unknowns view the poor, the faceless, the life wanderers. Those who live to live rather than to die. Those who are a being of how it must be. Those accepting of what is, is. And revelling in their own ignorant pleasantries.
I cry for Macabea. I cry for those facing adversary. A bewildering but brilliant tale about life's fleeting nature. A tale of powerlessness, an "exploration of a self that is sometimes glimpsed, but barely known."
