Dom Casmurro

by Machado de Assis, Robert L. Scott-Buccleuch
Dom Casmurro
Dom Casmurro

Classic Brazilian tale, love's betrayal and reality.

If you're drawn to character-driven narratives set in Rio de Janeiro, "Dom Casmurro" is a compelling read. It masterfully blends themes of love, jealousy, and the unreliability of memory. This book invites you into the mind of its protagonist, bending your perception of truth with its intimate, confessional prose. It's a captivating journey through the complexities of human emotion, coupled with a rich exploration of Brazilian society at the turn of the century.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Bentinho Santiago, cosseted only child of a rich widow, lives next door to Capitu, the daughter of a lowly government official. As childhood friendship turns to adolescent love, an obstacle to the union exists in the form of a vow made by Bentinho’s mother before his birth: her son is to be a priest. The lovers’ situation appears hopeless, but resourceful Capitu is not easily discouraged. De Assis weaves a powerful and ultimately tragic story of love and disillusionment, full of the subtle irony that is the hallmark of his writing. In Capitu, his enigmatic heroine, he has also created one of the most fascinating characters in Brazilian fiction.
