BookPal × TalezoThe Looking-Glass
“Machado de Assis showed the human comedy is the same everywhere, and in conflicts between man and society, society usually wins.” --The New Yorker
Machado de Assis is one of the most enigmatic and fascinating story writers who ever lived. What appear at first to be stately social satires reveal unanticipated depths through flashes of darkness and winking surrealism. This new selection of his finest work, translated by the prize-winning Daniel Hahn, showcases the many facets of his mercurial genius.
A brilliant scientist opens the first asylum in his home town, only to start finding signs of insanity all around him. A young lieutenant basks in praise, but in solitude feels his identity fray into nothing. The reading of a much-loved elder statesman's journals reveals hidden thoughts of merciless cruelty.
This beautiful new collection of fresh translations offers the perfect gathering of his most beloved stories:
