Resurrection

Original title: Ressurreição (Portuguese)

by Machado de Assis

Summary

Ressurreição (Resurrection) is Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis' first novel. It was published in 1872. Although it can be considered a romantic work, its romanticism is contained, moderate, without the sentimental excesses, the twists in the plot and the happy endings of the romantic genre. Moreover, it is also presented as a psychological novel "that although it is not unheard of, it is rare in sentimental novels" where the most important thing is not intrigue or action, "but to study the character and his behavior". This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
