MACHADO DE ASSIS (1838-1908), Brazil's greatest novelist, was born in a poor carioca district of Rio de Janeiro. In the course of his lifetime he never ventured more than a few miles outside his native city. He worked as a newspaper reporter before entering the civil service where he rose to become the head of a department. During his writing career he published more than two hundred short stories and nine novels, including Dom Casmurro, Esau and Jacob and The Wager. He was one of the founders, and the first president, of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Bento Santiago, the wildly unreliable narrator of "Dom Casmurro," believes that he has been cuckolded—he suspects that his wife has cheated on him with his best friend and that her child is not his. Has Capitú, his love since childhood, really been unfaithful to him? Or is the evidence of her betrayal merely the product of a paranoid mind? First published in 1900, "Dom Casmurro," widely considered Machado de Assis’s greatest novel and a classic of Brazilian literature, is a brilliant retelling of the classic adultery tale—a sad and darkly comic novel about love and the corrosive power of jealousy. A stunning novel by one of Brazil's greatest writers. Like other great 19th-century novels, Machado de Assis's DOM CASMURRO explores the themes of marriage and adultery. But what distinguishes Machado's novel from the realism of its contemporaries, and what makes it such a delightful discovery for English-speaking readers, is its eccentric and wildly unpredictable narrative style—a literary genius of the rarest kind.
