Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas
by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
'Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas' Summary
Brás Cubas, um homem de posses e de caráter duvidoso, narra sua vida após a morte. Ele analisa suas experiências amorosas, incluindo o amor não correspondido por Virgília, e suas relações sociais, incluindo a amizade com Quincas Borba e a rivalidade com Lobo Neves. Através de sua perspectiva cínica e sarcástica, ele critica a sociedade brasileira do século XIX, expondo a hipocrisia e a futilidade de seus costumes. Brás Cubas também reflete sobre a natureza da existência humana, questionando o sentido da vida e a busca pela felicidade. A obra, que explora temas como a morte, a memória e a impossibilidade de controlar o destino, é considerada um marco na literatura brasileira e uma obra rica em simbolismo e complexidade.Book Details
