Product Details
ISBN: 9780143135036
Author: ASSIS, MACHADO DE
A revelatory new translation of the playful, incomparable masterpiece.
Machado de Assis is not only Brazil's most celebrated writer but also a writer of world stature. In his masterpiece, the 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner), the ghost of a decadent and disagreeable aristocrat decides to write his memoir.
- He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse.
- He recounts his failed romances and half-hearted political ambitions.
- He serves up hare-brained philosophies and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave.
Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty, and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to works by Cervantes, Sterne, Joyce, Nabokov, Borges, and Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world.
