Summary/Abstract: The 13 stories of the collection The Foreign Legion (A legião estrangeira, 1964), thefirst appearance of Clarice Lispector in Bulgarian, are a piece of hypnotic writing thatis difficult to compare with any other writer’s language of that time. On the one hand,this prose has a memory of the European modernism with the experimental spirit ofthe Left Bank of the Seine, with elements of literary cubism and delicate traces ofJudaic mysticism… On the other hand, the European refinement and suffistication areliterally shaken by the local culture with its smell of jungle and its colorfully hystericalLatin American Catholicism
