Perplexidades de criança em A descoberta do mundo: o espelho de Clarice

Abstract

Clarice was charmed by children endowed with sensitivity and power of reasoning, which would de-note another kind of logic, unbound from the understandings and prejudices of the adult world. The impression of the first glance which captures the thing itself, fascinated with forms, smells, colors, nu-ances, textures, apprehended by first senses, as in a preliminary reading, delimits a kind of virginal spa-ce whose images project a writer incessantly concerned with the search for those essential substances.
