DOM CASMURRO
Second Critical Edition
A new critical English edition of one of the greatest novels ever written.
Considered Machado de Assis's masterpiece, Dom Casmurro is one of the defining works of world literature. Through the unforgettable voice of Bento Santiago, readers enter a subtle psychological drama where memory, jealousy, love, and self-deception intertwine in one of literature's most celebrated unreliable narrators.
This edition goes far beyond a new translation. It offers a carefully revised English text accompanied by an extensive scholarly apparatus designed for students, researchers, and general readers interested in Brazilian literature and comparative literary studies.
This edition includes:
- A new English translation by Gabriela Weisman
- Critical editing by Alexandre H. Reis and Gabriela Weisman
- A substantial critical introduction by Alexandre H. Reis
- Extensive explanatory annotations throughout the text
- A revised text prepared for international readers
Rather than reducing Dom Casmurro to the famous question of Capitu's fidelity, this edition situates the novel within Machado de Assis's broader literary project, highlighting his irony, skepticism, narrative innovation, and profound reflections on memory and truth. More than a century after its first publication, Dom Casmurro remains one of the most sophisticated psychological novels ever written. This critical edition invites English-speaking readers to experience Machado de Assis in all his literary complexity.
