Описание: In these memoirs, Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian, examines (from beyond the grave) his rather undistinguished life in 160 short chapters that are filled with philosophical digressions and exuberant insights. A clear forerunner of Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges, "Epitaph for a Small Winner," first published in 1880, is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history as well as “one of the masterpieces of Brazilian literature” (Salman Rushdie).

Описание: "One of the wittiest, most playful, and . . . most alive and ageless books ever written." --Dave Eggers, The New YorkerA revelatory new translation of the playful, incomparable masterpiece of one of the greatest Black authors in the Americas A Penguin Classic The mixed-race grandson of ex-slaves, Machado de Assis is not only Brazil's most celebrated writer but also a writer of world stature, who has been championed by the likes of Philip Roth, Susan Sontag, Allen Ginsberg, John Updike, and Salman Rushdie. In his masterpiece, the 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Br s Cubas (translated also as Epitaph of a Small Winner), the ghost of a decadent and disagreeable aristocrat decides to write his memoir. He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse and tells of his failed romances and halfhearted political ambitions, serves up harebrained philosophies, and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave. Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty, and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to the work of everyone from Cervantes to Sterne to Joyce to Nabokov to Borges to Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world. This new English translation is the first to include extensive notes providing crucial historical and cultural context. Unlike other editions, it also preserves Machado's original chapter breaks--each of the novel's 160 short chapters begins on a new page--and includes excerpts from previous versions of the novel never before published in English.

Описание: 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. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1970.

Описание:
A Master on the Periphery of Capitalism is a translation (from the original Portuguese) of Roberto Schwarz’s renowned study of the work of Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis (1839–1908). A leading Brazilian theorist and author of the highly influential notion of “misplaced ideas,” Schwarz focuses his literary and cultural analysis on Machado’s The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, which was published in 1880. Writing in the Marxist tradition, Schwarz investigates in particular how social structure gets internalized as literary form, arguing that Machado’s style replicates and reveals the deeply embedded class divisions of nineteenth-century Brazil. Widely acknowledged as the most important novelist to have written in Latin America before 1940, Machado had a surprisingly modern style. Schwarz notes that the unprecedented wit, sarcasm, structural inventiveness, and mercurial changes of tone and subject matter found in The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas marked a crucial moment in the history of Latin American literature. He argues that Machado’s vanguard narrative reflects the Brazilian owner class and its peculiar status in both national and international contexts, and shows why this novel’s success was no accident. The author was able to confront some of the most prestigious ideologies of the nineteenth century with some uncomfortable truths, not the least of which was that slavery remained the basis of the Brazilian economy. A Master on the Periphery of Capitalism will appeal to those with interests in Latin American literature, nineteenth century history, and Marxist literary theory.

Описание: Bem-vindo ao universo extraordinario de Machado de Assis, um dos maiores vultos da literatura Luso-Brasileira de sempre. Nesta edi o de Quincas Borba, trazemos at si a melhor edi o esta admir vel pe a liter ria do final do s culo XIX. Quincas Borba um romance escrito por Machado de Assis, desenvolvido em princ pio como folhetim na revista A Esta o, entre os anos de 1886 e 1891, para ser publicado definitivamente em 1892. No processo de adapta o de folhetim para livro o autor realizou algumas mudan as m nimas, mas significativas. Seguindo Mem rias P stumas de Br s Cubas (1881), este livro considerado pela cr tica moderna o segundo da trilogia realista de Machado de Assis, em que o autor esteve preocupado em utilizar o pessimismo e a ironia para criticar os costumes e a filosofia de seu tempo, embora n o subtraia res duos rom nticos da trama. Ao contr rio do romance anterior, no entanto, Quincas Borba foi escrito em terceira pessoa, a fim de contar a hist ria de Rubi o, ing nuo rapaz que torna-se disc pulo e herdeiro do fil sofo Quincas Borba, personagem do romance anterior, e que, sendo enganado por seu amigo capitalista Cristiano e sua esposa Sofia, paix o de Rubi o, vive na pele todo o fundamento te rico do Humanitismo, filosofia fict cia daquele fil sofo. Quincas Borba, de fato, foca-se melhor nos temas secund rios do romance anterior. Estes incluem uma par dia ao cientificismo e ao evolucionismo da poca, bem como ao positivismo de Comte e lei do mais forte, uma adapta o da sele o natural de Charles Darwin a n vel social. O livro tem recebido v rios estudos e interpreta es ao longo do tempo, sobretudo sociol gicos, que o consideram um romance que trata principalmente da transforma o do homem em objeto do homem e a sua "coisifica o." Quincas Borba, um dos que mais interesse tem despertado em novas edi es e tradu es para outras l nguas, est entre os principais livros da obra machadiana. Esperamos que tenha tanto prazer a ler esta obra cl ssica quanto aquele que n s, Cascais Classic Editions, tivemos a trazer-lha at si. Deixe-se levar pelos sonhos... Oliver Garrett
