Papéis Avulsos by Machado de Assis
A compact collection of short narratives and sketches that probe the contradictions of urban Brazilian society with sharp irony and psychological insight; the pieces range from wry social portraits to intimate moral dilemmas, often narrated with ambiguity and compact, elegant prose that exposes hypocrisy, jealousy, vanity and mortality while inviting the reader to question appearances and the reliability of storytellers.
