It may look all too relevant. "Steal something big! Steal something small! Steal however you desire!"<br /><br />Maybe the internet really will someday solve some of these publishing and distribution problems.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-37025868153568243412011-12-01T07:53:13.284-06:002011-12-01T07:53:13.284-06:00It is unfortunate that such masterpieces are hardl...It is unfortunate that such masterpieces are hardly reproduced (translated and printed) for mass consumption. Our establishment, with their sights on the money than the legacy, produce for us cheap literature. We jumped on board and think we are reading masterpieces. Thanks for this insight and revelation. The bad thing is that I know I am not going to get any of his books soon. But that wouldn't mean I won't try.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-74492109595429334222011-11-30T21:33:13.898-06:002011-11-30T21:33:13.898-06:00Oh, thanks, thanks.

To make up for it, <a href="http://wordswithoutborders.org/contributor/machado-de-assis/" rel="nofollow">here</a>'s a link to two more by Machado. The first story is another translation of a piece in the Oxford ("Wallow, Swine!" - better title, better translation I think). The second story is to be read for pleasure. So, you're now just short by 29 world masterpieces.Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.com
