This book examines the relationship between Gustave Flaubert and Machado de Assis from a new perspective. It examines the negative representation of work in L’Éducation sentimentale (1869) and The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (1881), as well as the work of the novel as practiced by these two masters of literary modernity.
