About Me Userboxes
Hi, I'm Reece and this is my user page. I am now back from my recent wikibreak.

If you have any comments or queries, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page, I'll be more than happy to help. Or if you have anything you need to ask in a more confidential manner, email is always an option.

If you have been redirected to this page whilst looking for Urbane, i am that person. I was usurped a couple of months ago and now use only the one name across all of the wikimedia projects (namely here, wikibooks and meta).

Machado de Assis

Machado de Assis (1839–1908) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of Brazilian literature. In 1897, he founded and became the first president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. He was multilingual, having taught himself French, English, German and Greek later in life. Machado's work shaped the realist movement in Brazil and the birth of the Brazilian republic made Machado become more critical and an observer of the Brazilian society of his time. Generally considered to be Machado's greatest works are Dom Casmurro (1899), Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner) and Quincas Borba (also known in English as Philosopher or Dog?). In 1893, he published "A Missa do Galo" ("Midnight Mass"), often considered to be the greatest short story in Brazilian literature. This photograph of Machado was taken by the Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez in 1890.
