Foreword
Machado de Assis is the greatest name of Brazilian Literature, a genius of Fictional Realism.
Between 1870 and 1900, he wrote novels, poems, chronicles, reviews and articles which fell into everyone´s graces and influenced the 20th-century Brazilian writers.
Born on the Livramento´s Hill, in Rio de Janeiro, the son of a painter and a washerwoman, he acquired an extense literary culture, combining his bureaucratic career to his passion of prose. He produced masterpieces such as Dom Casmurro and Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas.
O Enfermeiro (The Male Nurse) was published by Machado de Assis as a standalone, then joined the author´s in the Várias Histórias (Several Stories), published in 1896.
Procópio accepts the job offer: to take care of an ill colonel, who has an insufferable temper.
Their relationship is complicated and dramatic, guiding the characters to a surprising ending.
The Male Nurse
Does it seem to you that what happened with me in 1860, can be included on a page on a book? It might be as long as the condition that there is nothing to promote before my death is met. It won´t take long, it can be 8 days, if not less; I´m disillusioned.
