'Várias Histórias' Summary
A coleção de contos 'Várias Histórias' de Machado de Assis reúne dezesseis narrativas, originalmente publicadas entre 1884 e 1891 no jornal Gazeta de Notícias. Os contos exploram temas universais como amor, perda, destino e a complexidade da natureza humana, através de personagens envolvidos em situações inesperadas e relacionamentos cheios de nuances. Machado de Assis, mestre da ironia e da crítica social, nos presenteia com histórias que se alternam entre o realismo cru e a fantasia sutil, sempre tecendo uma trama envolvente e repleta de reflexões sobre o comportamento humano. Dentre os contos mais famosos da coleção, destacam-se 'A Cartomante' e 'Um Apólogo', que evidenciam a maestria do autor na arte de contar histórias e sua capacidade de penetrar nas profundezas da alma humana.Book Details
