Ressurreição by Machado de Assis
Set in mid-19th-century Rio de Janeiro, the novel follows a reflective young man who becomes entangled in a delicate courtship with an emotionally guarded woman; through witty, ironical narration and precise psychological observation, his passionate attachment, self-deception and social ambitions are exposed, leading to a painful but clarifying emotional transformation that unmasks the hypocrisies of polite society and the fragile boundaries between love, pride and illusion.
