The imaginary

"A imaginaria is one of those books we can't put down. Rereading it is rediscovering it in all the authenticity that characterizes it and makes it live, live anguishedly and violently. Oh, shocking book, painful and profound beauty!" - Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Originally published in 1959, a bestseller of its time, A imaginaria returns to the José Olympio catalog. Autobiographical, the book tells the story of the character Berenice from her childhood to her remarkable marriage. Essential for those interested in women's work in Brazilian literature, but also an important reminder of one of the most celebrated writers of her time.
