Machado´s Postcard

Translation of the card
Front: Nobody knows what I am when I ponder. From a cronic of 1.21.1889
Back: Machado de Assis, a brazillian genious. (by Daniel Piza) Machado, as all big creator, was at the same time an expression and an exception of his time. Studying his life and work we can get to know better the city of Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the XIX century and also observe how he was different from the writters of tha same time. His life was very agiteded, wealthy and significant - more then it is supposed.
