Discuss Regarding Books Dom Casmurro

I adored this novel.First published in 1900, and set in Rio de Janeiro during the latter-half of the 19th century, it follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of Bento Santiago, otherwise known by his pseudonym of 'Dom Casmurro.' From the outset that pseudonym reveals a lot about our narrator, and the melancholic and suspicious nature which fuels much of his story.Love ranks highly in this novel, surpassed only by the jealousy which often goes with it, and here Machado appears as a master of the

SPOILERS!SPOILERS!SPOILERS!SPOILERS!SPOILERS!SPOILERS!SPOILERS! Never before in reading any novel have I ever felt so much a character IN the novel. I am "dear Lady." I certainly felt like it. In the early stages of the novel, it was if I was sitting down on the front porch with a kindly old uncle and given tea and cakes and told a charming story. Oh he was so in love. Oh he loved his mother so much...she was an angel. He was, as someone pointed out, seducing me. And then I was listening to the

Read to the tune of "Your Cheating Heart" on Youtube.DOM CASMURRO ambles out of the gate as a 19th-century, Brazilian coming-of-age story (I'd say it in Portuguese but my polyglot is rusty). Leisurely (thus, "ambles") in the beginning and middle, its chief interest is the tone and style. Sure, it's a translation, but a translator can't even pull this off. Machado de Assis is (cliche alert!) a man before his time if ever there was one. Short chapters. Pithy asides. Ironic humor. Frank admissions.

My arms and my hands were practically shaking yesterday while I was in the last 50 pages of this book. One of those novels with perfect denouement. I immediately sent a text message to my brother (who gave this 5 stars) and our friend (who wants to borrow this book so I had to squeeze this in to my already tight queue of to-be-read books) telling them how beautiful this book was. I am glad I forced myself to read this now. I also told them that I was planning to dislike this book to avenge

Oh, Google you have failed me. I wanted to find a nice list of books written in 1900, or at least in 1899. I failed though. In 1899 though Nabokov, Hemingway and EB White were all born. Henry James was somewhere between Turn of the Screw and Wings of the Dove in these years. Mark Twain was still kicking around. The Way of All Flesh was about this time, so was The Awakening by Chopin... I was hoping this list would sound better. But this list will do. Nothing against any of these authors or their

Remember those days when growing up in a Catholic household the mother always wanted the male child to enter into Seminary School so they could become a priest? After all, mothers know best. And maybe win some celestial favour.Our stubborn young Bentinho has his path made clear thanks to mom. But like every great story, why not add in a love interest, Capitu. Talk about a monkey wrench. Temptation is too great; temptation is a sin as well. Add in SenhorJosé Dias, Tío Cosme and prima Justina for
