Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839 – 1908) was a writer considered by many critics, scholars, writers, and readers to be the greatest name in Brazilian literature. Machado de Assis left a very extensive body of work, the result of half a century of literary labor, which includes plays, poetry, prologues, critiques, speeches, more than two hundred short stories, and several novels. "The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" (1881) is a first-person narrative considered Machado de Assis's masterpiece. The novel, extremely daring for its time, is framed as the memoirs of a character, Brás Cubas, who writes after his death. The dedication at the beginning of the book already anticipates the humor and fine irony present throughout: "To the worm that first gnawed at the cold flesh of my corpse, I dedicate with fond remembrance these posthumous memoirs."

"Be aware that frankness is the prime virtue of a dead man," writes the narrator of The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas. But while he may be dead, he is surely one of the liveliest characters in fiction, a product of one of the most remarkable imaginations in all of literature, Brazil's greatest novelist of the nineteenth century, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. By turns flippant and profound, The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas is the story of an unheroic man with half-hearted political ambitions, a harebrained idea for curing the world of melancholy, and a thousand quixotic theories unleashed from beyond the grave. It is a novel that has influenced generations of Latin American writers but remains refreshingly and unforgettably unlike anything written before or after it. Newly translated by Gregory Rabassa and superbly edited by Enylton de Sá Rego and Gilberto Pinheiro Passos, this Library of Latin America edition brings to English-speaking readers a literary delight of the highest order.

“Is it possible that the most modern, most startlingly avant-garde novel to appear this year was originally published in 1881?”—Parul Sehgal, New York Times Now considered a progenitor of South American fiction, Machado de Assis’s highly experimental novel is finally rendered as a stunningly contemporary work. Narrating from beyond the grave, Brás Cubas—an enigmatic, amusing and frequently insufferable antihero—describes his childhood spent tormenting household slaves, his bachelor years of torrid affairs, and his final days obsessing over nonsensical poultices. “Rejuvenated” (Pradeep Niroula, Chicago Review of Books) by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson’s fresh new translation, Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas is a work of acerbic mockery and deep pathos that offers a bird’s-eye view of how Machado de Assis launched the canon of modernist fiction.“Sprinkled with epigrams, dreams, gags and asides, the story teases, dances and delights.”—Economist

Irony, humor, and sarcasm, striking characteristics of Machado's writing, are present in this work, considered one of the most Influential of Literary Realism in the world. Using complex and sophisticated language, with wordplay that challenges the reader, Machado de Assis tells the story of Bras Cubas, a rich and idle man, without great ambitions in life, who experiences a series of romantic and professional adventures. However, he never manages to find a meaning for his existence. In this novel full of philosophical ramblings, one of the greatest writers of the 19th century brings to light important questions about finitude and life after death.

Ao leitor, Que Stendhal confessasse haver escrito um de seus livros para cem leitores, coisa é que admira e consterna. O que não admira, nem provavelmente consternará, é se este outro livro não tiver os cem leitores de Stendhal, nem cinqüenta, nem vinte, e quando muito, dez.. Dez? Talvez cinco. Trata-se, na verdade, de uma obra difusa, na qual eu, Brás Cubas, se adotei a forma livre de um Sterne, ou de um Xavier de Maistre, não sei se lhe meti algumas rabugens de pessimismo. Pode ser. Obra de finado. Escrevia-a com a pena da galhofa e a tinta da melancolia, e não é difícil antever o que poderá sair desse conúbio. Acresce que a gente grave achará no livro umas aparências de puro romance, ao passo que a gente frívola não achará nele o seu romance usual; ei-lo aí fica privado da estima dos graves e do amor dos frívolos, que são as duas colunas máximas da opinião. Mas eu ainda espero angariar as simpatias da opinião, e o primeiro remédio é fugir a um prólogo explícito e longo. O melhor prólogo é o que contém menos coisas, ou o que as diz de um jeito obscuro e truncado. Conseguintemente, evito contar o processo extraordinário que empreguei na composição destas Memórias, trabalhadas cá no outro mundo. Seria curioso, mas nimiamente extenso, aliás desnecessário ao entendimento da obra. A obra em si mesma é tudo: se te agradar, fino leitor, pago-me da tarefa; se te não agradar, pago-te com um piparote, e adeus. Brás Cubas

Dive into the whirlwind life and afterlife of Brás Cubas, a man who decides to tell his story from beyond the grave. The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas is not your typical ghost story but a daring, humorous, and profoundly introspective journey through the eyes of a deceased narrator. This groundbreaking novel by Machado de Assis, a titan of Brazilian literature, blends dark comedy, philosophical musings, and the absurdities of human nature into a narrative that defies the conventions of its time—and perhaps ours. As Brás Cubas navigates the complexities of love, ambition, and society from a perspective only death can offer, he invites you to question the very essence of success, happiness, and the unspoken truths of our existence. With its modernist flair and unconventional storytelling, this novel resonates with the existential dilemmas facing us today, wrapped in a narrative that s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Prepare to be charmed, provoked, and entertained by a character who, in refusing to take life (and death) too seriously, offers a refreshing take on the age-old question of what it means to be truly alive.
