Question

He was born on June 21, 1839, in Morro do Livramento, a marginalized region of
Rio de Janeiro. Poor, descendant of slaves, stutterer and epileptic, he left home at
the age of 16, when he started working in newspapers in the capital of Rio de
Janeiro as an apprentice typographer. At work, he met Manuel Antônio de Almeida,
author of Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant. This professional partnership was of great
influence for Machado, who has since continued to work for newspapers in various
ways, where he had the opportunity to write chronicles, which began in the form of
reviews of the Senate debates and, later, on customs of the time, which generated,
over a 40-year career, more than 600 texts on 19th century carioca society.
