{"product_id":"memorias-postumas-de-bras-cubas-edicao-de-bolso","title":"Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas (Pocket Edition)","description":"Machado de Assis was around 50 years old when he began writing Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas), which is considered the first novel of the realist movement in Brazil. Brás Cubas, a decadent aristocrat who has already died, decides to write his autobiography and revisits his childhood and other episodes of his life. In a caustic tone, the deceased narrator breaks with the linear and objective narrative through digression and uses irony to portray and criticize Rio de Janeiro society at the end of the 19th century. With its bold style and language, Machado de Assis's realism presents characteristics that foreshadowed modernism, a landmark movement in the history of Brazilian literature. Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881) is part of Machado de Assis's \"mature phase,\" along with the novels Quincas Borba (1891) and Dom Casmurro (1899). Dom Casmurro is also available from BestBolso, which also published the previously unpublished 40 contoscolhidos (40 chosen tales), a collection that appeals to both young and experienced readers.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159323623676,"sku":"9788577991761","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/f54687fd2634fa6b988f942a3341c8a9.jpg?v=1778321171","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/memorias-postumas-de-bras-cubas-edicao-de-bolso","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
