Machado de Assis
The first novel by the undisputed master of Brazilian literature, RessurreiÃ§Ã£o (Resurrection, 1872) tells the story of FÃ©lix, an emotionally unstable and determined young man motivated by jealousy. FÃ©lix seeks to win the heart of LÃ­via, a widow, but his conduct leads her to end their relationship. While all of Machado de Assis' novels treat everyday life as a spectacle, even his early novels go beyond previous literature, principally by his creation of characters that tried to move up in social class, even at the cost of love.
