The posthumous memoirs of Brás Cubas : a novel
Machado de Assis, Joaquim Maria (, 1839-1908)
The posthumous memoirs of Brás Cubas : a novel Brás Cubas / by Joachim Maria Machado de Assis ; translated from the Portuguese by Gregory Rabassa ; with a foreword by Enylton de Sá Rego and an afterword by Gilberto Pinheiro Passos - New York : Oxford University Press , 1997. - xix, 219 p. ; 22 cm. - Library of Latin America .
"New translation of Machado's famous novel is for the most part faithful and readable. However, work has occasional odd errors and omissions, and fails to give sufficient attention to Machado's rhythm and syntax. Given Rabassa's vast experience as a translator, it is hard not to suspect that carelessness and haste explain the mistakes and lapses. Also poorly edited and inadequately proofread"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
