Sinopse

The new edition of As três Marias features a foreword by Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda, critical commentary with texts by Mário de Andrade and Fran Martins, and an insert with photos of the author and her friends who inspired the novel's characters.

The Three Marias , a novel by Rachel de Queiroz, originally published in 1939, tells the story of three friends Maria Augusta (Guta), Maria da Glória and Maria José, from their childhood in a convent school to their adult lives.

In this coming-of-age novel, Rachel portrays the process of adjusting to the world through the eyes of the girls, inviting the reader to accompany them from the fears and uncertainties of their youth—when they still dreamed of freedom beyond the walls of their boarding school and were overwhelmed by the city—through the passing of years and their maturity and the dilemmas of adulthood. Always together, regardless of their chosen path.

Maria da Glória dedicated herself to motherhood and family, Maria José, always devoted, returned to live with her mother and became a teacher, and Maria Augusta, unlike her friends, determined to forge her own path: she returned to live with her family, but, dissatisfied, returned to Fortaleza. She worked as a typist and, there, fell in love. This is where the author allows herself to delve deeper into the social perspective and the acuity of psychological observation.

And in no way do these three Marias lose to the three stars of the constellation of Orion, which stand out aligned and shining in the sky and served as inspiration for the nicknames of the characters of Rachel: notorious and brilliant in the memory of all who know them.
