Deuses de Casaca
by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
'Deuses de Casaca' Summary
A obra 'Deuses de Casaca' de Machado de Assis, uma comédia divertida, apresenta os deuses do Olimpo vivendo na sociedade moderna, inclusive na vestimenta, daí o título da peça. Eles estão preocupados porque os homens não creem mais neles. Cupido, que abandonou sua divindade e se tornou um conquistador, tenta convencer os outros deuses de que vale a pena assumir um papel na sociedade humana como mortal. A peça explora a relação entre o divino e o humano, e as consequências da descrença em um mundo que está cada vez mais secularizado. Através de um diálogo perspicaz e cheio de humor, Machado de Assis satiriza a sociedade moderna e a busca por um significado para a vida em meio a um contexto de descrença e desencanto.Book Details
