The Hour of the Star (A hora da estrela) is a novel by Clarice Lispector published in 1977, shortly before the author's death. In 1985, the novel was adapted by Suzana Amaral into a film of the same name, which won the Silver Bear for Best Actress in the 36th Berlin International Film Festival of 1986. It has been translated into English twice: by Giovanni Pontiero (published in the U.K. by Carcanet Press in 1986, and in the U.S. by New Directions in 1992); and by Benjamin Moser in 2011 (also published by New Directions).
