Abstract

This article aims to analyze Machado’s short stories translated into English. This analysis seeks to examine if these translated short stories explore and emphasize the thesis of the "miracle" according to which Machado's greatness is explained as a fortuitous event in a poor and backward Brazil or if they reflect a Machado closer to his own personal reality, conscious of structural gaps in the careful and gradual construction of his mature literature.
