À propos de ce livre

In an ironic and satirical tone, Machado de Assis presents a conversation between a father and son, in which the father advises the young man to become a "medallion" — a symbol of empty prestige and superficial respectability. The story criticizes social hypocrisy and the pursuit of status without merit, revealing the behind-the-scenes of success in 19th-century bourgeois society.
