A very entertaining and enriching read from the 19th century. Machado is very creative and wrote a unique tale that is hard to find nowadays. Recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars "O Alienista" - eterno Machado!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2012

He does not need presentation, if you never read our authors, feel free to meet with a singular mind with reasoning. A monster of our history, more an idealist than a writer ... "Machado de Assis" transcribes clearly the society of the time so that everything that is said is connected and shows the future of Brazilian culture, read, you guys will like. It will not take long and will be entering kobo in our market!! Edit many books in Portuguese!! You guys are not going to do anything!

Nos suscita ponderar quanta loucura e maldade foi realizada pela mão daqueles que tinham na ✋o poder. Talvez deviam agir como Simão Bacamarte e reconhecer que eles são os verdadeiros mentecaptos.

I found some typos, but the fact that the book used the "new orthography" is a big bonus. The Kindle dictionary was very useful. Without it I would have missed some wonderful words, which, sadly, have fallen out of use in modern Portuguese. Great small book, great reading!

Demorou um pouco para se familiarizar com qual é o problema final de seu livro. Aliás, não estou completamente: convencido disso já tendo terminado a palestra. O conceito de casa verde me pareceu familiar, mas não a palavra alienista. Ainda no final do livro me senti obrigado a verificar no dicionário: Relativo a alienismo ou ao tratamento de alienados. No texto, o uso desavergonhado da palavra louco e loucura (tolo e tolice). Especialistas relacionados presentes em ação: boticaro e guardião.
Apesar do meu fraco conhecimento da língua portuguesa, só aprendi lendo e entendendo com base no seu 'irmão mais velho' o espanhol, pude finalmente entender o que estava lendo e aprendendo. Gostando, mas apenas em grau moderado. Este, porém, não foi meu primeiro contato com o famoso filósofo brasileiro e escritor versátil Machado de Assis. Também provavelmente não é o último, para mim, já baixei outro Machado. Na expectativa de obter mais satisfação no próximo, atribuo apenas três estrelas ao presente.

Estou decepcionada com a compra. Pensei estar comprando o livro, visto que o valor pago é de um livro. Entretanto fui surpreendida com uma especie de resumo muito, mas muito simples. Nao recomendo.
