Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (694 words) |
 | Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (June 21, 1839 - September 29, 1908) was a Brazilian realist novelist, poet and short-story writer born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. |
| In 1869 Machado de Assis married Carolina Xavier de Novaes, a descendant of noble family. |
| Machado de Assis was fascinated with the theme of jealousy and wrote many novels with the theme; Dom Casmurro can be said to be the greatest one of all, as illustrated by Brazillian critics arguing over whether Capitu was guilty or not. |
