Chronicles of Machado de Assis (1888-1889)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1888 and 1889, Brazil's most renowned writer, Machado de Assis, wrote a series of chronicles, or essays, for the Gazeta de Not cias, published in Rio de Janeiro. This was a very exciting time to be reporting in Brazil. In 1889, slavery was abolished, and in 1889, the country ended its monarchy and adopted a republican form of government. Neither transition was easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachado, respected for his stories, novels, plays, and poems, turned his critical eye on Brazilian society. The 50 chronicles in this collection--the most complete collection of them in any language--touch on everything from the national government to the foibles of Brazilian society. The writing style is unique, stretching the language from repertorial to quasi-poetic. This bilingual edition presents the original Portuguese and Ana Lessa-Schmidt's astute English translation side by side for ease of literary and linguistic comparison. The Foreword by Greicy Pinto Bellin, an academic authority on all things Machadian, offers insight into the significance of these unique chronicles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Machado de Assis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947074229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947074224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New London Librarium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Machado de Assis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983965159679,"sku":"9781947074224","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_faded3e5-a553-438d-a9e3-50e1c2a45faf.jpg?v=1683269744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-days-machado-de-assis-9781947074224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
