Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis

Dom Casmurro

Now... if you are more advanced and need a better challenge, Dom Casmurro is the book for you. I read it in secondary school, again in university - I studied language and literature - and many more times after that. It is one of those books that will make you have a different perception every time you read it. I still have not decided whether Capitu is guilty or not.




This book has various editions, various covers, and it has been translated to quite a few languages. You can also read it in English here. Because one way or another.... you've got to read this book!
