This is a fictional memoir by the nineteenth-century Brazilian
writer whom Philip Roth has described as 'a great ironist, a tragic
comedian'. "Dom Casmurro" is the story of Bento Santiago, an
affluent citizen of Rio who comes to believe in his old age that
his beloved wife, Capitu, betrayed him with his best friend for
many years. In telling the sometimes sad, sometimes raucous tale of
his love for and loss, through jealousy, of Capitu, he reconstructs
- and sometimes wildly reimagines - the past in order to make the
present more bearable.
