Description
Dom Casmurro A Novel by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis is a masterpiece of twentieth-century Latin American fiction. This exuberant new translation captures all the hilarious, maddening, and utterly compelling idiosyncrasies of its complex protagonist. Bento Santiago's life is marked by both joy and paranoia, as he recounts his youth in a once fashionable neighborhood. His story begins on a famous November afternoon, when he fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, Capitu. However, Bento's happy-ever-after ending proves short-lived, consumed by jealousy and suspicion. Eloquently translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson, Dom Casmurro is a subversive and groundbreaking dark comedy that showcases the signature charm of Brazil's greatest author.
