- Summary
- Machado de Assis wrote almost 200 short stories. A vote organized among 13 writers chose the master's 30 best short stories for this anthology. The collection also features the first and last short stories written by the most refined and entertaining, the most delicious prose writter in Brazilian fictional literature. Psychologist, sociologist and philosopher, but above all an artist and first-class inventor, Machado demonstrates in these narratives his full potential as an observer and critic of human passions. With fine irony he walks through the neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro examining the virtues and vices of unforgettable characters.
