Politics in the Novels of Machado de Assis
N 1862, ten years before the publication of his first novel, Machado de Assis in a newspaper article issued a warning: Nao te envolvas em poldmicas de nenhum genero, nem politicas, nem literirias, nem quaisquer outras.

Jealousy in the Novels of Machado de Assis

This period embraces Machado's Mem6rias p6stumas de Brds Cubas, Quincas Borba, and…
Machado de Assis and Dostoyevsky
JOSE BETTENCOURT MACHADO in a study of Machado de ssis notes that the latter, like Dostoyevsky, employs universal characters as opposed to narrow types.' Bettencourt's observation is entirely warranted, but it falls short of indicating the truly vast areas of similarity over and above the general element of universality of character, for beneath the obvious exterior of Dostoyevskian intensity and the minor-key of Machado there exists a perhaps su…
