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.
