But while he may be dead, he is surely one of the liveliest characters in fiction, a product of one of the most remarkable imaginations in all of literature, Brazil's\u003cbr\u003egreatest novelist of the nineteenth century, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy turns flippant and profound, \u003cem\u003eThe Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of an unheroic man with half-hearted political ambitions, a harebrained idea for curing the world of melancholy, and a thousand quixotic theories unleashed from beyond the grave. It is a novel that has influenced\u003cbr\u003egenerations of Latin American writers but remains refreshingly and unforgettably unlike anything written before or after it. Newly translated by Gregory Rabassa and superbly edited by Enylton de Sá Rego and Gilberto Pinheiro Passos, this Library of Latin America edition brings to English-speaking\u003cbr\u003ereaders a literary delight of the highest order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joaquim Maria Machado De Assis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.56w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195101706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/18\/2002 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGregory Rabassa\u003c\/strong\u003e is the highly acclaimed translator of \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c\/em\u003e and many other works of Latin American fiction. \u003cstrong\u003eEnylton de Sá Rego\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas at Austin. \u003cstrong\u003eGilberto Pinheiro Passos\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of\u003cbr\u003eComparative Literature at the University of São Paulo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39929241763955,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_72140793-a7eb-4ac2-8f9f-902c6b3d96e9.jpg?v=1647612595","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-posthumous-memoirs-of-br-s-cubas-9780195101706","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
