Synopsis
A bilingual collection of five stories by the Brazilian literary master, Machado de Assis. Two-"Luiz Soares" and "Straight Line and Curved Line"-are from his early formative period and have never before been translated to English. The other three-"Fulano," Trio in A-Minor," and "Cabriolet Anecdote"-are from his later, more literary period. An insightful Foreword explores the differences and relationships of these two periods.
