Women of Machado
Author: Machado de Assis Publishing company: SESI-SP Editora Segment: Obras Gerais Number of pages: 368 About publishing company: Publisher Contact: ISBN: 978-85-504-0553-7If during their youth they appear virginal, innocent, pure, as they enter adulthood, they are faced with questions such as the imposition of marriage, marital bliss, jealousy and betrayal, and the ephemerality of beauty, becoming increasingly complex. Mature WOMEN OF MACHADO live the nostalgia of life, the possibility of an ultimate love and death. These themes, however, intersect, with death being born in a girl or purity in an adulterous lady. It is precisely from this overlap that the sphericity of the characters selected here arises and, consequently, where one sees the mastery of the writer.
