A Mao e A Luva

Zusammenfassung

"A Mão e A Luva" by Machado de Assis is a novel published in 1874. Guiomar, an intelligent and ambitious young woman, finds herself pursued by three suitors with vastly different characters: the weak and indecisive Estêvão, the frivolous Jorge, and the resolute Luís Alves. Set in the pleasant countryside of Botafogo, this restrained love story eschews typical romantic melodrama for psychological analysis and elegant prose, as Guiomar navigates marriage proposals and her own social ambitions in a match that proves perfectly suited.
