About this book
In "School Story", Machado de Assis portrays a seemingly mundane episode from childhood that reveals, with irony and subtlety, the moral formation of a boy. Between fear and guilt, a small bribe for a syntax lesson exposes the tensions between authority, conscience, and social values in 19th-century Brazil.
