| Zusammenfassung: | 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. |

English Esau and Jacob : a novel / by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis ; translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Lowe ; edited with a foreword by Dain Borges ; and an afterword by Carlos Felipe Moisés. New York, N.Y. : Oxford University Press, 2000. 1 online resource (xxvi, 276 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Library of Latin America 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.
