Get to know the story of Quincas Borba: a dog, but that is also the name of his owner, a philosopher from Barbacena, Minas Gerais. When this wealthy thinker dies, leaving behind a large fortune, his friend Rubião is named the sole heir. But the former professor would only lay his hands on the money under one condition – to protect the life of Quincas Borba, the dog. The Antofágica edition features illustrations by renowned Recife artist Samuel de Saboia and an introductory text by Emicida. Rogério Fernandes dos Santos, who holds a PhD in Literature from USP, wrote the book's notes. In the afterwords, UERJ professor and literary critic João Cezar de Castro Rocha writes an essay on the fabric of Machado's novel and the process of (re)writing Quincas Borba. Ana Paula Salviatti, master in economic history from USP, discusses the transition of a free and dispossessed man in a slave society, while the Jabuti Prize-winning writer and PhD student in literary theory Jeferson Tenório writes an afterword on the multiple readings of Machado's novel. ► Get your copy of Quincas Borba: https://amzn.to/3A9jSrn ► Also check out the Machado de Assis Box, which brings together the three great novels of the Wizard of Cosme Velho: Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, Quincas Borba and Dom Casmurro https://amzn.to/3GsHHfR ► We look forward to your visit to our city: / antofagica / antofagica / antofagica
