description: The first novel by the undisputed master of Brazilian literature Ressurreio (Resurrection 1872) tells the story of Flix an emotionally unstable and determined young man motivated by jealousy. Flix seeks to win the heart of Lvia 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.
