50 contos de Machado de Assis

Antologia indispensável com o melhor dos contos do grande escritor brasileiro. Leitura obrigatória do vestibular da Unicamp.

Um homem que tem o estranho prazer de torturar ratos, e encara a morte da mulher com a mesma satisfação; outro que, abandonado numa fazenda, se olha num espelho e descobre que seu reflexo desapareceu; uma mulher tão obcecada em esconder a idade que impede a filha de se casar; um afortunado compositor de melodias populares que deseja desesperadamente escrever música clássica; um rapazinho de quinze anos que se deixa empolgar pela visão dos braços de uma mulher mais velha; um casal empobrecido que adora dançar e termina esbanjando numa festa o prêmio ganho na loteria... Essas são algumas das situações e personagens desta nova antologia de contos de Machado de Assis, que inclui textos famosos, mas também escolhas menos usuais, além de uma apresentação convidativa e de notas esclarecedoras. Seja você um aficionado pela obra de Machado ou apenas um entusiasta da boa literatura, a amplitude e sutileza destes escritos, o prazer que se extrai da maneira como as histórias são contadas e da observação de pequenos detalhes vão fazê-lo ler, reler e redescobrir o maior escritor brasileiro. Carlos Drummond de Andrade dizia que ler Machado de Assis era uma tentação permanente, quase como um vício a que tivesse de resistir: não há melhor lugar para se dedicar a esse vício do que este livro.

Um homem que tem o estranho prazer de martirizar ratos, e encara a morte da mulher com a mesma satisfação; outro que, abandonado numa fazenda, se olha num espelho e descobre que seu reflexo desapareceu; uma mulher tão obcecada em esconder a idade que impede a filha de se casar; um afortunado compositor de melodias populares que deseja desesperadamente escrever música clássica; um rapazinho de quinze anos que se deixa empolgar pela visão dos braços de uma mulher mais velha; um casal empobrecido que adora dançar e termina esbanjando numa festa o prêmio ganho na loteria…

Essas são algumas das situações e personagens desta nova antologia de contos de Machado de Assis, que inclui textos famosos, mas também escolhas menos usuais, além de uma apresentação convidativa e de notas esclarecedoras.

Seja você um aficionado pela obra de Machado ou apenas um entusiasta da boa literatura, a amplitude e sutileza destes escritos, o prazer que se extrai da maneira como as histórias são contadas e da observação de pequenos detalhes vão fazê-lo ler, reler e redescobrir o maior escritor brasileiro.
