About this product

Product Information

Widely acclaimed as the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America (Susan Sontag), as well as another Kafka (Allen Ginsberg), Machado de Assis (1839-1908) was famous in his time for his psychologically probing tales of fin-de-siecle Rio de Janeiro-a world populated with dissolute plutocrats, grasping parvenus, and struggling spinsters. In this original paperback, Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson, the accomplished duo (Wall Street Journal) behind the landmark . . . heroically translated volume (The New Yorker) of the Collected Stories of Machado de Assis, include twenty-six chronologically ordered stories from the seven story collections published during Machado's life-featuring all-time favorites such as the celebrated novella The Alienist ; the tragicomic parable of bureaucracy, madness, and power (Los Angeles Review of Books), Midnight Mass ; The Cane ; and Father Against Mother. Ultimately, Machado de Assis: 26 Stories affirms Machado's status as a literary giant who must finally be fully integrated into the world literary canon.
