Synopsis "Memorial de Ayres"

Released just two months before his death in 1908, Memorial de Ayres was Machado de Assis's final novel. Written in the form of a diary, it follows the day-to-day happenings of a retired diplomat, Counselor Ayres, during the waning years of the Brazilian empire.Ayres lives a simple life: The most eventful parts of his week are lunch with his sister or a visit to their family cemetery. But a new love interest pushes Ayres from the confines of his quiet routine and into the warm, welcoming home of the Aguiars, an older couple who never had children. The Aguiar household is a center of merriment, a necessary outlet for the reclusive Ayres--and where Brazil's well-to-do ponder the momentous changes afoot.Marked by Machado's sly humor and psychological subtlety--and set in a singularly transformative moment in Brazil's history--Memorial de Ayres is a quietly prescient tale of personal and national legacy.
