Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas é uma obra literária brasileira escrita por Machado de Assis, considerado um dos maiores autores da literatura brasileira. O livro foi publicado pela primeira vez em 1881 e é uma das obras mais importantes do Realismo no Brasil.

A história é narrada pelo personagem-título, Brás Cubas, que conta sua vida após a morte, do além-túmulo. O romance é conhecido por seu estilo narrativo inovador e irreverente, pois Brás Cubas narra suas memórias de forma sarcástica e muitas vezes cínica, com um olhar crítico sobre a sociedade e a moral da época.

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (Rio de Janeiro, 21 de junho de 1839 – Rio de Janeiro, 29 de setembro de 1908) foi um escritor brasileiro, considerado por muitos críticos, estudiosos, escritores e leitores o maior nome da literatura brasileira. Escreveu em praticamente todos os gêneros literários, sendo poeta, romancista, cronista, dramaturgo, contista, folhetinista, jornalista e crítico literário. Testemunhou a Abolição da escravatura e a mudança política no país quando a República substituiu o Império, além das mais diversas reviravoltas pelo mundo em finais do século XIX e início do XX, tendo sido grande comentador e relator dos eventos político-sociais de sua época.

About the Author

Widely considered Brazil's greatest writer, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908) was a self-taught mestizo born in Rio de Janeiro who suffered from epilepsy and a tendency to stutter. But in spite of these difficulties Machado was known for his captivating, pleasant personality. In addition to writing the two most important works of Brazilian fiction, Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Machado helped found the Brazilian Academy of Letters and served as its first president until his death. The Academy then gained the nickname "House of Machado de Assis." While Machado's work covered nearly every literary genre, in was in the novel where he made his greatest contribution, introducing realism to Brazilian literature and even foreshadowing modernism with his psychological focus, quirky comments outside of the plot and tendency to blur the line between fiction and reality. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013

This book is a really great read, especially if your first language is Brazilian Portuguese. It is not my first language and I struggled with some of the more antiquated portuguese, but the humor in this book is unmatched. I couldn't put it down!

Ebook falls short of the content

The ebook has many typos and glitches, but the story is one of the best works by Machado de Assis. It is incredibly current in its criticism of society in general. Timeless, funny, witty.

Um livro imperdível

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010

Quem nunca leu esse livro na escola, faça-me o favor de recuperar o tempo perdido e comece agora.

Essa obra, publicada inicialmente em 1881, inovou a literatura brasileira ao trazer como narrador um morto ("defunto-autor") que conta como foi sua vida até aquele momento, o momento em que se encontra morto.

A obra percorre as venturas e desventuras de Brás Cubas, sendo os fatos contados como ele os viu, sentiu e viveu. Dessa forma, desvenda-se para o leitor todo as nuances do ser humano e da sociedade em que o narrador-defunto nos apresenta.

O enredo não nos conta uma história grandiosa, longe disso, durante a narração da vida desse homem de classe alta, nos deparamos apenas com as conquistas não realizadas, e a todo instante, Machado de Assis nos leva a torcer para que os planos e os amores de Brás realizem-se, apesar de já sabermos que no final ele acaba sozinho aguardando o primeiro verme a devorar suas carnes.

A genialidade de Machado de Assis nessa obra, encontra-se na capacidade de manter atualizado suas críticas a sociedade brasileira. As observações ácidas tecidas pelo defunto-autor, pertencente a classe alta carioca do século XIX, reverberam ainda nos dias de hoje.

Daí o prazer da leitura e a importância de seu texto, pois atualiza, de forma irônica, os processos em que nosso país foi formado, suas contradições e os desmandos que ainda estão presentes.

Really low quality

I thought “a book is a book” but this edition has so many typographical issues, bad font of varying sizes, margins that are so small that you have to read into the crevices… makes a good text so hard to read that I ordered a different edition and will toss this one out.

Possible a pirated book (Paperback)

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

The cover looks horrible, with some words cut off on the bottom of the front cover, the cover image itself extremely pixilated, and some of the first pages were cut wrong, as shown in the picture. The font of the front and back cover looks blurry as well.

Because some pages were folded when the book was cut, they do not line up properly when folded back as shown in the attached images.

Although the quality of the paper inside the book seems to be of good quality, this could possible be a bootleg copy of the 4th edition, judging by the poor and unprofessional quality of it. It just looks... off.

Price might look tempting but no! Really Bad editing, more than 3 errors on every page, paper is very thin and letters are TINY!

There are various versions of this book available in Portuguese, and I chose this one because it was the cheapest. Well, you get what you pay for. The editors did a very poor job. There are mistakes like missing accents (é vs. e) and misplaced hyphens that distract the reader. It looks like they just copy-pasted the text from a source without ever reading it.

Low low quality. Don’t buy it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

The “book” is more like a pamphlet printed in someone’s garage or basement. While the cover looks nice, the pages are cheap, the layout is horrible and the print is incredibly small. It looks like whoever printed it cut and pasted from a word doc.

Ao concluir este livro levo comigo o saber de quincas e as lembranças de Cubas, suas escolhas controversas tornou seu legado um nada.

Gosto da trama abordada no livro, seus dramas são cativantes e ao ler, mais queria saber seus desfechos. Termino-o com o gosto amargo da realidade, morre um homem sem alcançar suas ambições, solitário e rejeitado (tanto em meio politico quanto amoroso).

Miserável seja a realidade!

É uma edição de custo reduzido. As capas reviram, embora tenham um toque agradável.
O tamanho da letra é muito pequeno, como seria de esperar.
Não há página sem uma ou mais palavras terem ficado sem espaço para a seguinte. É um erro de reproduçãograve.
Outro detalhe que não consigo desculpar numa edição é a falta de numeração das páginas... O mais elementar processador de texto produzia melhor.
