O livro O Alienista é um dos ícones da ironia machadiana, um clássico. Uma obra rápida de bom-humor, cultura, drama, que em uma tarde pode ser lida de cabo a rabo. Trata da história de um homem da ciência, um investigador por certo, um médico cuja única e sincera vocação é a prática científica. Eis o alienista, Simão Bacamarte, personagem ilustre da cidade de Itaguaí, que se dedicou ao estudo das moléstias mentais, da loucura.

Interessante reflexão sobre a natureza da loucura e sobre o poder totalitário. Um dos contos mais conhecidos do Machado. ( )
