Contos, volume 1
'Contos, volume 1' Summary
A coleção de contos de Artur de Azevedo, um dos principais autores brasileiros do século XIX, oferece uma visão perspicaz e divertida da sociedade brasileira da época. Azevedo, conhecido por seu humor mordaz e sua capacidade de observar o comportamento humano com perspicácia, utiliza a sátira e a caricatura para retratar a vida cotidiana, as relações sociais, as aspirações e os vícios de seus contemporâneos. As histórias, muitas vezes centradas em personagens excêntricos e situações hilárias, exploram temas como amor, casamento, dinheiro, status social e o desejo incessante de felicidade. Através de um estilo fluido e cheio de nuances, Azevedo cria um universo literário rico e envolvente, permeado por um olhar crítico e irônico sobre a sociedade em que vivia.Book Details
