Papéis Avulsos
by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
'Papéis Avulsos' Summary
Papéis Avulsos é uma coleção de contos de Machado de Assis, que explora a vida e os costumes da sociedade brasileira do século XIX. Os contos se caracterizam por um estilo irônico e mordaz, que expõe as hipocrisias e as contradições da sociedade da época. Um dos contos mais famosos, "O Alienista", retrata a história de um médico que tenta criar um asilo para todos aqueles que ele considera "alienados", mas acaba se tornando ele próprio um alienado por sua própria visão de mundo. Outros contos como "O Espelho", "A Chinela Turca" e "A Sereníssima República", exploram temas como a vaidade, a hipocrisia, a moral e a política, com uma perspicácia e um humor que se mantém atual até hoje. Machado de Assis utiliza uma linguagem precisa e rica em nuances para construir personagens complexos e situações irônicas, revelando a fragilidade da natureza humana e a complexidade das relações sociais.Book Details
