Dom Casmurro foi escrito em 1899. Seu personagem principal é Bento Santiago, o narrador da história que, contada em primeira pessoa, pretende "atar as duas pontas da vida", ou seja, unir relatos desde sua mocidade até os dias em que está escrevendo o livro. Entre esses dois momentos Bento escreve sobre suas reminiscências da juventude, sua vida no seminário, seu caso com Capitu e o ciúme que advém desse relacionamento, que se torna o enredo central da trama. Ambientado no Rio de Janeiro do Segundo Império, se inicia com um episódio que seria recente em que o narrador recebe a alcunha de "Dom Casmurro", daí o título do romance. Machado de Assis o escreveu utilizando ferramentas literárias como a ironia e uma intertextualidade que alcança Schopenhauer e sobretudo a peça Otelo de Shakespeare.

One masterpiece by one of the top two or three (In only can think about Eça and Camilo at the same level) greatest writers ever in the Portuguese language. Ironic, simple to read, caustic, and engaging. No one writes like Machado.

Very nice story written by the best Brasilian writer ever. It tells us a lot of about the "rules" of our society and it's amazing how Machado de Assis makes us to think about what had happened between Bentinho and Capitu without giving a final word.

One of the greatest classics of the Portuguese language literature, hands down a must read. I'm not going to go into the work itself, it has been out there for over one hundred years. I'm going to focus on the digital edition, that is great, very well formated. I noticed a few glitches, like what looks like the page numbers of a book it might have been scanned from, but overall it is fine. Kudos to the editing crew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um livro profundo, e realmente bom.
Reviewed in Brazil on July 13, 2023

"Dom Casmurro" é um romance clássico da literatura brasileira escrito por Machado de Assis. Publicado originalmente em 1899, o livro conta a história de Bento Santiago, conhecido como Dom Casmurro, que narra suas memórias e reflete sobre suas relações com as pessoas ao seu redor, principalmente seu grande amor, Capitu.

Uma das principais qualidades de "Dom Casmurro" é a habilidade narrativa de Machado de Assis. Sua prosa é rica em detalhes e nuances, demonstrando um domínio excepcional da escrita. O autor utiliza uma linguagem sofisticada e uma estrutura narrativa complexa, intercalando presente e passado de forma magistral. Essa habilidade literária é uma das razões pelas quais o livro é considerado uma obra-prima da literatura brasileira.

Outro ponto forte do romance é a profundidade psicológica dos personagens. Bento Santiago, o narrador, é um personagem complexo e ambíguo, com suas memórias e reflexões apresentando uma visão subjetiva da realidade. A figura de Capitu também é extremamente cativante, despertando fascínio e questionamentos ao longo da história. A maneira como Machado de Assis explora os dilemas morais, os ciúmes e as incertezas do amor é excepcional, tornando os personagens e suas motivações muito realistas.

Além disso, "Dom Casmurro" aborda temas universais como o amor, a traição, a memória e a passagem do tempo. O livro também oferece uma análise crítica da sociedade brasileira do século XIX, expondo as convenções sociais, as aparências e os preconceitos da época.

No entanto, é importante mencionar que a narrativa de "Dom Casmurro" pode ser um desafio para alguns leitores. A prosa densa de Machado de Assis, repleta de digressões e reflexões filosóficas, pode demandar uma leitura mais atenta e pausada. Além disso, a ambiguidade do narrador e a falta de respostas definitivas em relação aos acontecimentos da história podem frustrar aqueles que procuram por resoluções claras.

Apesar desses desafios, "Dom Casmurro" é uma leitura enriquecedora e altamente recomendada para os amantes da literatura. Machado de Assis é um mestre em explorar a complexidade da natureza humana, criando personagens e situações que continuam a intrigar e provocar discussões até os dias de hoje. "Dom Casmurro" é um livro que merece ser apreciado por sua escrita excepcional, profundidade psicológica e pela riqueza de suas reflexões sobre o amor e a condição humana.

There are lots of typos. Some words are not properly written (and not because of the old-fashioned language considering when the book was published), but there is a lack of an editor review and missing punctuation.

Reviewed in Canada on September 24, 2020

Remember those days when growing up in a Catholic household the mother always wanted the male child to enter into Seminary School so they could become a priest? After all, mothers know best. And maybe win some celestial favour.

Our stubborn young Bentinho has his path made clear thanks to mom. But like every great story, why not add in a love interest, Capitu. Talk about a monkey wrench. Temptation is too great; temptation is a sin as well. Add in SenhorJosé Dias, Tío Cosme and prima Justina for commentary and moral reflection. Add in a good friend Escobar from the Seminary to widen our young Bentinho and Sancha to tempt. Bentinho is a very jealous man; envious of everyone.

What a true comedy of errors. A real treat to read.
