Sinopse

Rachel de Queiroz's most engaging novel, adopted by the Fuvest 2026 and 2027 entrance exam, returns to bookstores.

In Fortaleza in the 1930s, during the Vargas Era, Roberto is tasked with recruiting workers for a new left-wing group. One of the people interested is Noemi: Guri's mother, married to a man she no longer loves, she is searching for something that will make her feel alive. At party meetings, Noemi and Roberto develop a strong intellectual connection, which leads to an affair. She finds herself testing new moral and ethical boundaries, both in the realm of love and politics.

An expression of a libertarian socialism that would rarely reappear in Rachel de Queiroz's writing, Caminho de Pedras is considered her most committed novel. This book offers the first glimpses of a more introspective style and psychological analyses that underpin scenes of intense emotional intensity. A clever arrangement to tell the story of a forbidden passion ignited by struggle.

In "Caminho de Pedras" (Path of Stones) , Rachel de Queiroz reveals the strength of a woman who decides to follow her desires, even if it means divorce. In a society where women are expected to fulfill the roles of mother, wife, and homemaker exclusively, Naomi is both the offender and the heroine of her own story, because the punishment she knew she would face was not enough to convince her to remain in a loveless marriage.

" Caminho de Pedras is a story of thin people, a story where there is hunger, excessive work, persecution, prison, injustices of all kinds, things that well-established citizens do not tolerate." — Graciliano Ramos

“The petty pettiness of individuals, the suffering bitterness of everyone, the incapacity as if by fatality, the dedication to an ideal more dreamed of than understood, the stagnant atmosphere of the northeastern cities (with the exception of Recife), the inflexible amount of sun that is in the book, the purity of the natural language, without the slightest research: this is Rachel de Queiroz, the great novelist.” — Mário de Andrade

"The trilogy O quinze , João Miguel , and Caminho de Pedras clearly marks a moment in Rachel's work. It affirms her commitment to clear language, modern diction, her concern for social issues, her political conflicts, and her Northeastern roots. It also highlights her skill in drawing female characters whose performance invariably challenges the patriarchal logic of the first half of the 20th century." — Heloisa Teixeira

Sobre o autor

Rachel de Queiroz

Marques Rebelo, pseudônimo de Edi Dias da Cruz, foi jornalista, poeta, contista, romancista e cronista. Nasceu no Rio de Janeiro, em 6 de janeiro de 1907. Sua infância dividiu-se entre o bairro de Vila Isabel e a cidade mineira de Barbacena, para onde se mudou com a família aos 4 anos. Nunca lhe faltaram, no Rio ou em Minas, um terreno baldio para jogar futebol e livros para ler. No início dos anos 1920, ingressou na Faculdade de Medicina, que logo abandonou para se dedicar ao comércio em Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. Ainda na década de 20, começou a escrever profissionalmente, no jornalismo. Marques Rebelo foi o romancista do Rio de Janeiro, herdeiro do amor pela cidade de Manuel Antônio de Almeida, Machado de Assis e Lima Barreto. Suas obras retratam as transformações dos anos de 1930 a 1960, a vida noturna, a boemia e a sensualidade, uma deliciosa crônica das ruas, dos bondes, da pequena burguesia. Em 1964 foi eleito para a Academia Brasileira de Letras. Marques Rebelo faleceu a 26 de agosto de 1973, no Rio de Janeiro, que tanto amou.
