The ordinary, everyday, and trivial make up the raw materials for
the literary genre of the chronicle, which Machado de Assis' style
turns into a perfect chat. Like a well-informed neighbor, the
Brazilian writer offers us a portrayal of his native country
towards the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the
tensions between the ancient and the modern, between tradition and
progress. "Lo comun, cotidiano y trivial constituye la materia
prima del genero literario de la cronica, la cual a traves de la
pluma de Machado de Assis se presenta simplemente como una charla
perfecta. Como un vecino bien enterado del acontecer diario, el
brasileiro nos ofrece un nitido retrato de su pais natal de finales
del siglo XIX, y refleja la marcada tension entre lo antiguo y lo
moderno, entre la tradicion y el progreso."
