A collection of six short stories written by Machado de Assis (1839-
1908), widely regarded as Brazil’s greatest writer, adapted into comics.
The selection highlights themes concerning slavery and its legacy in
the country’s historical inequality. Machado de Assis himself was a
witness to this process, as his paternal grandparents were freed slaves.
Caeto and Masanori, editor and author of Nori e eu, are reunited to
give life to the stories with sharp drawings that reaffirm Machado
de Assis’s universality.
