Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis nasceu em 1839 no Rio de Janeiro. Entre jornalismo, poemas, contos, romances, o autor de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas e de Dom Casmurro desenvolveu um estilo literário singular, reconhecido em todo o mundo como uma das mais interessantes expressões do realismo.
Brazilian Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis was the finest storyteller of nineteenth-century Latin America. "Midnight Mass and Other Stories" offers a selection of Machado's tales, from the oft-translated and sly erotic title story, a classic of Brazilian literature, to such brief ironic tales, not previously translated into English, as "A Game," "Coimbra the Clerk," and "Sooner the Tarpeian Rock." Also included is "Botany Lesson," Machado's most successful work for the stage.
