It has been the most discussed book at our universities and the base of our literature. Machado was one of the fist authors for adults I read when I was just a teenager. since I met his prose I couldn't stop reading his books over and over again. Dom Casmurro is a book I read entirely in one afternoon. What I like more in Machado's books is the narrator's voice who is very ironic all the time, he never is serious and is always commenting the character's behaviour. He kind of seduce us to think like him and is always playing tricks on us. Dom Casmurro is the memories of a man who think to be betrayed by his beloved wife, in the end of the the story we doubt if he is talling the truth. That is the best Brazilian prose. ( )
