    <![CDATA[A kind of dialogue with Machado de Assis' previous novel, Memórias Póstumas de Bras Cubas, Quincas Borba shares the same characters and situations. In a narrative that mixes both first and third person, this novel tells the story of Rubiãõ, a former teacher who becomes a rich when he receives an inheritance from Quincas Borba, a rich philosopher who had lived as a beggar, and takes the responsibility for the philosopher's dog, also called Quincas Borba. But Rubião goes insane, looses his  fortune and lives all alone, except for the dog Quincas Borba, as a beggar in his native city. Rubião finally dies, followed three days later by the dog. Both deaths are ignored.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Of the three famous novels by Machado de Assis, this one is the least complete for me. Nonetheless, his ability to provide only the necessary details and to set convincing characters in motion is evident. In the end, it probably doesn't matter.]]></body>
