About Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908) was a Brazilian writer, poet, playwright, and literary critic, renowned as one of the greatest figures in Brazilian literature. Born in Rio de Janeiro to a poor family of mixed-race descent, he overcame significant societal barriers to become the founder of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and produced a significant body of work, including seminal novels like "Dom Casmurro" and "Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas," which explore themes of social inequality, identity, and the human condition through innovative narrative techniques. His legacy continues to influence literature and thought in Brazil and beyond.
