Esau and Jacob, Hardback Book

Esau and Jacob Hardback

Edited by Dain (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of California, San Diego) Borges

Part of the Library of Latin America series

Hardback

Description

Esau and Jacob is the last of Machado de Assis's four great novels.

At one level it is the story of twin brothers in love with the same woman and her inability to choose between them.

At another level, it is the story of Brazil itself, caught between the traditional and the modern, and between the monarchical and republican ideals.

Instead of a heroic biblical fable, Machado de Assis gives us a story of the petty squabbles, conflicting ambitions, doubts, and insecurities that are part of the human condition.
