Rachel de Queiroz

Angélica C

Life is a task that cannot be shared with anyone.
Rachel de Queiroz


Rachel de Queiroz was a prominent Brazilian writer and the first woman to join the country's Academy of Letters.

Her first book, O Quinze (Fifteen), was published in 1930 when she was only 20 years old, and brought her instant fame. Her portrayal of the daily struggle of the people of Northeastern Brazil against drought and scarce resources cemented her reputation as a powerful storyteller. Over the next 70 years, Queiroz would go on to write over 2000 chronicles, expanding from literature into journalism, playwriting, and translation.

If you want to read one of the chronicles written by this fantastic Brazilian author, book a class with me.
