	Reading Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
		Machado never left Brazil but there seems not to have been a European literary or philosophical epidemic that did not infect him or, knowing it to be pernicious (as with Naturalism, whose practitioners, especially Eça de Queirós, he despised), he succeeded in avoiding.
		The pen Machado writes with is intent on recording comedy and observing those trivial and apparently irrelevant details which compose a large measure of a person’s life but the ink in which he is obliged to dip the pen comes from a dark, tragic source.
		Machado would surely have despised them, and he would have scorned the commoner kind of analysis still practised in seminars and workshops in which gossip about characters ("Did Capitu in Dom Casmurro really deceive her husband?") passes for serious criticism.

	Madness in a Tropical Manner
		Machado joins wide reading and classical learning in European literature and philosophy with the experience of the social transformations sweeping the Brazil of slavery and empire in the late 19th century.
		Machado was neither an anomaly nor a subversive, but a great writer who chose to use deadly humor where it would be least expected to convey his acute powers of observation and his penetrating insights into psychology.
		Machado's references and allusions are so constant and at times so obscure, however, that one wonders why the editors chose not to incorporate Massaud Moises' notes from the Brazilian Cultrix edition, if only as an appendix.

	MACHADO DE ASSIS 2
		Machado de Assis: The Pyramid and the Trapezium, Raimundo Faoro analyzes the social pyramid, that is, the class structure of society, the web of ambition and influence and the play for power in the shadow of the personal power, now a myth, of the Emperor himself.
		Machado was accused of deliberately ignoring slavery and related racial issues, as opposed to Lima Barreto, his contemporary, who took the color of his skin and made it the symbol of a type of literature political in nature.
		In this short story, Machado is equal or superior to his French master, through the skill of the narrator, the supreme craft of diction, his somewhat perverse, though complete, narrative and thanks to the use of an interior monologue in which Camilo's thoughts suggest a happy ending for the conflict involving the three characters.

	The Emperor's New Dog
		With Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, however, whose novel ''Quincas Borba'' was first published in 1891, we arrive at a genuine subversive, bent on overturning convention but always with an air of leisurely nonchalance.
		Machado had long ago perceived the inherent frailties of the imperial charade, sustained by halfhearted attempts at constitutional democracy in a nation that still relied extensively on slave labor.
		And Machado seizes the chance to meditate on the psychological collusion of human beings with inanimate objects: ''The expression, 'Talking to his buttons,' which looks like a simple metaphor for 'Talking to himself,' is a phrase with a real and direct meaning.

		Forfatter(e): Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Gregory Rabassa, Enylton de S'a Rego, Gilberto Pinheiro Passos,
		Machado's own view of the book was that it was too serious and deep for the frivolous and too playful and radical for the erudite readers of the time, and concluded in his usual pessimism that it would have "perhaps five" readers.
		Well I always thought that the critics of Machado de Assis were exaggerating his capability, mainly because the critics usually point that he focus more on the psychological aspects of the characters rather than the story itself.
