Machado de Assis - Dom Casmurro

Compasso dos Ventos presents Dom Casmurro, a masterpiece by Machado de Assis — one of the greatest writers in Brazilian and Portuguese literature.

First published in 1899, this realist novel offers a brilliant study of jealousy, memory and ambiguity. The question of Capitu’s fidelity and Ezequiel’s paternity remains unresolved, fueling debate to this day. With subtle, psychological prose, Machado explores the murky edges of the human mind and narrative truth. A hardcover edition with the full text, perfect for both study and leisurely reading.
