Ilustration As Books Quincas Borba

When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubiao the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubiao must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubiao heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself.

Write Up Epithetical Books Quincas Borba

I remember the time I first readed this piece, at the Elementary School. In these very young ages, I was never a big fan of that so called brazilian realism. Erroneously thought these works were simply boring and excessively stilted. But Quincas Borba was a mark. Easy and shocking, extenuating and madly, sincerely humane. Then, changed my opinion it opened my mind and vision of literature, art and why not to say, life, in a general way. In my modest opinion, this is the real masterpiece of

Let us talk about sanity and insanity for a while:How do you differentiate sanity and insanity? If you were sane before, how would you know that you have started to become insane? Is there a sign or system to detect the change? If I am sane, and I discover that I am losing my sanity, should I run for a cure or should I become a spectator and witness my insanity engulfing everything that is left sane within? Ok, leave that. If I, with my personal intuition, find that a person I know is turning

Machado de Assis is a genius. That said, this book didnt impress me much. The narrative is amazing, the imagery is epic, and the sarcasm and the wit are ever present, which earned this book the 3 stars. But the characters are less than memorable, and the story itself didnt amaze me as much as Bras Cubas did. I think I just had high expectations after reading his masterpiece, and Quincas Borba didnt live up to them.

It was supposed to be very good, but it was very boring.

Maybe 2.5 stars...I beggined this really enjoying it, but from the middle to the end it became really annoying. The lack of plot is so zzzzzzzzzz and also why does it have to end like that? The thing I hate the most is the fact that the dog only suffers, and still is so kind and full of love towards everyone, and he deserves better.
