A sereníssima república (Portuguese Edition) Kindle Edition

Publicado primeiramente na "Gazeta de Notícias" em 20 de agosto de 1882, depois incluído no livro Papéis avulsos, "A Serenissima República" é mais um daqueles contos de Machado de Assis em que parece ter, à primeira vista (e só à primeira vista...), um sentido restrito — no caso, "as nossas alternativas eleitorais" — que é logo captado e entendido por qualquer leitor, não obstante a forma alegórica como elas são mostradas.

Como não poderia deixar de ser em Machado, o conto é uma crítica: crítica ao processo eleitoral, feita como um discurso de um cônego, que afirma ter achado uma espécie de aranha que fala, e ter criado uma sociedade delas, chamada "Sereníssima República". Ele escolhe o sistema de eleição baseado no da República de Veneza, onde se retirava de um saco bolas com o nome dos eleitos. Este sistema vai sendo fraudado pelas aranhas, corrigindo-se, adaptando-se e variando-se diversas vezes e de diversos modos, eternamente corrupto.
