Coles Brazilian Tales – A Short Story Collection at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This collection serves as a foundational bridge between Brazilian literature and the English-speaking world. It features three psychological masterpieces by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis—'The Attendant's Confession,’ ‘The Fortune-Teller,’ and ‘Life’—which explore human cynicism and fate.
José Medeiros e Albuquerque provides a gritty look at the urban working class in ‘The Vengeance of Felix,’ while Coelho Netto captures the tragic weight of indigenous labour in ‘The Pigeons’. Finally, ‘Aunt Zeze's Tears’ by Carmen Dolores offers a rare, poignant female perspective on unfulfilled hope in early 20th-century Brazil.
Together, these stories mark a shift toward literary realism and social critique.
