Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A prodigy of accomplishment... deserving of a permanent place in world literature.--Susan Sontag

I couldn't believe he lived as long ago as he did. You would've thought he wrote it yesterday... Great wit, great originality and no sentimentality.--Woody Allen

Machado de Assis does not belong to the Romantic and Realist current of nineteenth-century Spanish America; instead, he revives the great tradition of La Mancha: the tradition of Cervantes-Sterne-Diderot... Better yet: Machado de Assis is a miracle.--Carlos Fuentes

Reseña del editor:

Featuring ten stories never before translated, dating from 1878-1886, his most radically experimental period, this selection of short fiction by Brazil's greatest author ranges in tone from elegiac to philosophical to impishly ironic. Including Machado's classic essay on world literature--also appearing in English for the first time--and with pieces chosen from his vast body of work for their playfulness, pathos, and stylistic subversion, this collection is an ideal introduction to the work of one of the treasures of world literature.
