Relíquias de Casa Velha
by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
'Relíquias de Casa Velha' Summary
“Relíquias de Casa Velha” é uma coleção de obras curtas que inclui nove contos, discursos e críticas de Machado de Assis, além de duas peças curtas. A obra abre com o famoso poema “A Carolina”, dedicado à esposa do autor, Carolina Augusta de Novais. Os contos exploram temas como o amor, a perda, a saudade e a natureza efêmera da vida. Em “O Caso da Vara”, Machado de Assis retrata a decadência moral de um antigo servidor público, explorando a hipocrisia e a corrupção. “A Missa do Galo”, considerado um dos contos mais representativos de Machado de Assis, narra a história de um homem que busca reencontrar a amada falecida em uma missa de Natal, revelando a fragilidade da memória e a busca por reconciliação com o passado. Os discursos e críticas literárias, por sua vez, revelam a perspicácia do autor e sua capacidade de analisar a sociedade e a literatura de seu tempo. As peças curtas, “A Causa Secreta” e “O Testamento”, exploram temas de amor, traição e vingança, com o humor ácido e a ironia característica da obra de Machado de Assis.Book Details
