Now considered a progenitor of South American fiction, Machado de Assis's highly experimental novel is finally rendered as a stunningly contemporary work. Narrating from beyond the grave, Bras Cubas is an enigmatic, amusing and frequently insufferable antihero - describes his childhood spent tormenting household slaves, his bachelor years of torrid affairs, and his final days obsessing over nonsensical poultices.
Translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson
