In this text, previously published in French by Professor Jean-Michel Massa, are included some pieces that do not figure in his famous book Dispersos de Machado de Assis (Rio de Janeiro, 1965). In this annotated translation by Lúcia Granja, the text is published here by the first time in Portuguese, and offers the reader a sample of the production of Machado de Assis never published in book form.
