Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'I passed away at two o'clock in the afternoon on a Friday in August in 1869, in my beautiful mansion in the Catumbi district of the city.' So begins Posthumous Memoirs of Br�s Cubas-at the end of the narrator's life. Published in 1881, this highly experimental novel was not at first considered Machado de Assis' definitive work-a fact his narrator anticipated, bidding 'good riddance' to the critic looking for a 'run-of-the-mill-novel'. Yet in this coruscating new translation, Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson reveal a pivotal moment in Machado's career, as his flights of the surreal became his literary hallmark. An enigmatic, amusing and frequently insufferable anti hero, Br�s Cubas describes his Rio de Janeiro childhood spent tormenting household slaves, his bachelor years of torrid affairs and his final days obsessing over nonsensical poultices. A novel that helped launch modernist fiction, Br�s Cubas shines a direct light to Ulysses and Love in the Time of Cholera. Artikel-Nr. 9781324090502
