Posthumous Memories Of Brás Cubas
(Machado de Assis)
This book in such a way represented a decisive landmark in the development of the workmanship of its author, how much in the evolution of Brazilian literature. It is not plus a romantic romance, as the previous ones of Axe of Assis (1839-1908), and is had as the first Brazilian realistic romance. But it is still more that this: it is first fantastic Brazilian e, still more important narrative, is the first workmanship of the Brazilian literature that exceeds the national limits of this literature, therefore is a great universal romance, that would deserve place of prominence in the any great literature of the world. Brás Cubas, the narrator, is deceased, and is of this extraordinary perspective (from there the fantastic character of the book) that it in tells its life to them and in gives a picture to them of its social classroom and the world where lived, everything in a ziguezagueante, coherent style with capricious and scoffing the will of one deceased, without any commitment with the formalismos ofthe life - they are the formalismos of the social relations, are of the literary narrative. The book immensely is amused and can be read it, with pleasure, of diverse forms and with diverse interests: either for the interest of history, counted with comicidade and irreverência; either for the form of full of surprises and developed (or disassembled) the narrative, by means of a constant swing (it starts for the death of the protagonist, polishes for its birth and it continues with many jumps); either still for the corrosively ironic representation of a parasitic social world (the high Empire As society), world of which the narrator - a complete parasite - is the perfect representative. For backwards of in such a way good mood, however, it is a disenchanted perspective (the famous machadiano pessimism) that it not only puts the naked the structures of that society, but still leaves visible the skeleton that supports the structures of the life and the art
