The writer known as M. is living in exile while her home country wages war on a neighbouring state. Wracked by shame and severed from her language, M. finds herself unable to write, unmoored in a present where the future feels unknowable. When she travels to a nearby country for an event, a twist of fate leaves her stranded in an unfamiliar city, phoneless and untraceable. In this rupture, she feels a flicker of liberation – the possibility of starting over – but memories of childhood, books, films and tarot cards pull her back, the last fragments of a vanishing world.

Este volume reúne contos em que Machado de Assis desmonta as máscaras sociais e revela como poder, ambição e conveniência costumam falar mais alto que qualquer discurso moral.

Em escolas, repartições, igrejas e salões, surgem disputas silenciosas, acordos velados e decisões que mostram até onde as pessoas estão dispostas a ir para conseguir o que querem.

È stato uno scienziato al servizio di Hitler, in corsa contro il tempo per costruire l'arma definitiva, la bomba capace di vincere la guerra. È stato un paziente in un sanatorio altoatesino, precario rifugio per ex nazisti braccati.
