  Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (June 21, 1839 - September 29, 1908) was a Brazilian realist novelist, poet and short-story writer born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In 1869 Machado de Assis married Carolina Xavier de Novaes, a descendant of noble family.
Machado de Assis was fascinated with the theme of jealousy and wrote many novels with the theme; Dom Casmurro can be said to be the greatest one of all, as illustrated by Brazillian critics arguing over whether Capitu was guilty or not.

Machado de Assis employs his usual style---160 short chapters in 223 pages---with the title of each chapter used to spice up the progress of the novel, which in turn is full of irony, with, whimsy, and very clever writing, full of ingenious metaphors.
Machado de Assis is regarded as "Brazil's finest writer." I do not agree with this point of view, since the country has many fantastic writers, such as Jose de Alencar and Aluizio Azevedo.
Machado de Assis was an ingenious author, prefiguring such diverse talents as Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Franz Kafka, John Barth, and even Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

 João Carlos Assis Brasil: Todos os Pianos
Instead of playing them in a direct and traditional way, Assis Brasil merges them beautifully in what becomes almost a new melody but yet keeping the composers' original styles and, most definitely, the original melodic lines.
Assis Brasil also included in Todos os Pianos two songs composed by his twin brother Victor Assis Brasil.
Assis Brasil's choice of those composers was perfect, and those medleys serve like a nice introduction to the cinematographic suite and the grand finale with classical pieces by Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
