One night, coming from the city to Engenho Novo, I met on the Central train a young man from the neighborhood, whom I know by sight and wearing a hat. He greeted me, sat next to me, talked about the moon and the ministers, and ended up reciting verses to me. The journey was short, and the verses might not have been entirely bad. It happened, however, that as I was tired, I closed my eyes three or four times; it was enough for him to stop reading and put the verses in his pocket.

“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

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."

Machado de Assis is among the most original creative minds in Brazil's rich, four-century-long literary tradition. Caldwell's critical and biographical study explores Machado's purpose, meaning, and artistic method in each of his nine novels, published between 1872 and 1908. She traces the ideas and recurrent themes, and identifies his affinities with other authors. In tracing Machado's experimentation with narrative techniques, Caldwell reveals the increasingly subtle use he made of point of view, sometimes indirect or reflected, sometimes multiple and "nested" like Chinese boxes. Caldwell shows the increasing sureness with which he individualized his characters, and how, in advance of his time, he developed action, not by realistic detail, but by the boldest use of allusion and symbol. Each novel is shown to be an artistic venture, and not in any sense a regurgitation from a sick soul as some critics have argued. IN searching out the unity of his novels, Caldwell explores the other aspects of Machado's intellectual life--as poet,journalist, playwright, conversationalist, and academician. Of particular interest is her attention to his shift away from the social criticism of his early novels into the labyrinth of individual psychology in the last five--all of which rank among the world literature. But this perceptive account never loses sight of the one element present in every piece of Machado's fiction, in eery one of his personages; that is, superlative comedy, in its whole range: wit, irony, satire, parody, burlesque, humor. Altogether, Caldwell reveals to us a writer, in essence a poet, who is still the altus prosator of Brazilian letters.

Considered a genius in his own lifetime, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839–1908) is Brazil's most canonized writer. Yet, he remains a contested and even enigmatic figure to readers in Brazil and abroad, his relative silence on slavery leaving him vulnerable to charges of aspirations to whiteness. Machado de Assis, Blackness, and the Americas reconsiders this issue by exploring how his prose fiction has been received in the United States. In seven original essays, contributors re-examine his novels and short stories, as well as photographs of the writer, in order to better understand the strategies he employed to navigate Brazil's literary scene as a man of African descent. Framed by a contextualizing introduction and an afterword in the form of a conversation between the editors, the volume speaks to and with our own historical moment and the realities of Black lives in the Americas over the course of the last two centuries.

"Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas" is a masterpiece of Brazilian literature, written by Machado de Assis in 1881. The novel, narrated by a deceased, is known for its ironic tone and pessimism. Brás Cubas, the protagonist, narrates his memories and reflections after death, exploring themes such as the futility of life, the hypocrisy of society and the inevitability of death. This ebook aims to counter the ideas presented by Machado de Assis, offering a more optimistic and humanistic vision of life and human relationships. The choice of a deceased narrator is, in itself, a literary innovation that allows Machado de Assis to explore the human condition from a unique perspective. Freed from social conventions and worldly concerns, Brás Cubas recounts his life with ironic detachment, exposing the weaknesses and contradictions of the living. His critical look at 19th century society is acidic and revealing, denouncing the moral failures and hypocrisies of the individuals who make up the social fabric. In this context, the futility of life emerges as a central theme. Brás Cubas, when revisiting his experiences, often concludes that his efforts and ambitions were in vain. The incessant search for pleasure, power and recognition is portrayed as useless and ephemeral. This pessimistic view reflects the narrator's disbelief in the human capacity to find lasting meaning or true happiness amid the vicissitudes of existence. Furthermore, society's hypocrisy is forcefully exposed. Brás Cubas describes an elite concerned with appearances, where publicly proclaimed virtues are often contradicted by selfish and self-serving actions. Morality is often a facade, and people's true motivation is revealed to be self-benefit. This social criticism is a trademark of Machado de Assis's work, which, with his wit, challenges readers to question values and behaviors accepted without reflection. The inevitability of death, finally, is a theme that permeates the entire novel. The death of Brás Cubas is the starting point for the narrative, and his condition as deceased-narrator underlines the certainty that all human efforts end in the same inevitable conclusion. Death levels all social distinctions and makes all worldly achievements irrelevant. This recognition of the transience of life gives the novel a melancholic and philosophical tone, leading the reader to reflect on their own mortality. However, this ebook proposes a different reading. Although "Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" presents a discouraging view of life and human nature, we believe that it is possible to find a more optimistic and humanistic perspective on human experiences and relationships. Life, with all its imperfections and challenges, is also filled with moments of beauty, kindness and meaning. Human relationships, even marked by failures, can be sources of support, love and mutual growth. Through this work, we seek to explore how resilience, empathy and the search for a purpose can counter Brás Cubas' pessimism. We believe that, despite adversity, life offers opportunities for personal development and the construction of a more just and compassionate society. We invite the reader to reflect on these possibilities and discover a more positive and hopeful approach to the human condition. Welcome to this journey of rediscovery and reinterpretation of the "Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas". May this reading inspire new thoughts and feelings, promoting a more balanced and optimistic view of life and human relationships.
