SYNOPSIS
'Brilliant ... a panorama of a remarkable talent ... McCullers's finest stories' The New York Times
Few writers have expressed loneliness, the need for human understanding and the search for love with such power and poetic sensibility as the American writer Carson McCullers, and The Ballad of the Sad Café collects her best-loved novella together with six short stories, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
Miss Amelia Evans, tall, strong and nobody's fool, runs a small-town store. Except for a disastrous marriage that lasted just ten days, she has always lived alone. Then Cousin Lymon appears from nowhere, a strutting hunchback who steals Miss Amelia's heart.
Together they transform the store into a lively, popular café where the locals come to drink and gossip. But when her rejected and dangerous ex-husband Marvin Macy returns, the result is a bizarre love triangle that brings with it violence, hatred and betrayal.
Among other fine works, the collection also includes 'Wunderkind', McCullers's first published story written when she was only seventeen, about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Carson McCullers
Carson McCullers nasceu na Georgia em 1917 e começou a escrever desde muito cedo. Com apenas 23 anos publicou O Coração É Um Caçador Solitário (1940), um livro muito bem recebido pelo público e pela crítica, que foi adaptado ao cinema e ao teatro e recentemente eleito um dos 100 melhores romances do século XX. No ano seguinte, saiu Reflexos Num Olho Dourado, que viria a ser imortalizado pelo filme com o mesmo título, realizado por John Huston e protagonizado por Marlon Brando e Elizabeth Taylor. Ambos os romances encontram-se publicados pela Presença nesta coleção. A extensa bibliografia da autora inclui ainda outros títulos que ficaram célebres, como The Member of the Wedding (1946) e A Balada do Café Triste (1951).
Carson McCullers morreu em Nova Iorque em 1967.
