Flaubert, Beckett e Kafka estão entre os vários autores influenciados pela obra de Machado de Assis - no texto, fica claro que esses autores podem ser comparados a Machado, mas não necessariamente que foram influenciados pelo Bruxo do Cosme Velho, como Machado de Assis era conhecido.

After a Century, a Literary Reputation Finally Blooms

The novelist Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis died 100 years ago and he has been called “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America,” surpassing even Borges. The critic Harold Bloom went even further, saying that Machado was “the supreme literary artist to date.” Comparisons to Flaubert, Beckett and Kafka abound, and John Barth and Donald Barthelme have claimed him as an influence on their work.

In recognition of his work, “Machado 21: A Centennial Celebration” is being held in New York City and New Haven. The commemorations include round tables and seminars discussing the author’s life and work; readings; screenings of films based on his work; an exhibition of art inspired by his writings; and a performance of  some of his poems set to music.

Mr. Bloom describes Machado as “a kind of miracle.” Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1839, Machado was the grandson of slaves, his father a housepainter and his mother  a white immigrant washerwoman from the Azores. Enormously cultured and erudite, he was largely self-taught, working as a typesetter’s apprentice and journalist before becoming a novelist, poet and playwright.

Eventually Machado took a post in the Ministry of Agriculture, married a Portuguese woman of noble descent and settled into a middle-class life that allowed him to build a parallel career as a translator of Shakespeare, Hugo and other literary lions. But around the age of 40, when he was already suffering from epilepsy, his health worsened, and he nearly lost his sight, a crisis that seemed to provoke a radical change in his style, attitude and focus.

Roberto Schwarz, one of Brazil’s foremost experts on Machado, said “What you see in the fve novels and his short stories from that period is a writer without illusions, courageous and cynical, who is highly civilized but at the same time implacable in exposing the hypocrisy of modern man accommodating himself to conditions that are intolerable.”

“When you first read Machado in school, you quickly realize that he is the master of our language, our Shakespeare, a real wizard with words,” Mr. Pereira dos Santos said. “And he is so up to date and psychologically astute. Even with the huge changes Brazilian society has experienced in my lifetime, Machado’s ability to grasp the essence of social relations and behavior, many of which are archaic but persist into the 21st century, makes him extremely relevant.”
