Taciturn and solitary, Bento Santiago - nicknamed Dom Casmurro - lives in a perfect replica of his childhood home in Rio de Janeiro. He spends his days reading and dozing, and is planning to write a History of the Suburbs. But it wasn't always this way - once upon a time he was a happy husband and father. In a narrative full of twists, turns, sly winks at the reader and revelations that change our understanding of what came before, he tells the story of his life so far. Promised to the priesthood at birth, Bento realises at fifteen that he cannot fulfil his mother's wishes: he is deeply in love with Capitú, the girl next door. Their passionate attachment sweeps opposition out of the way, and eventually they are married and, later, blessed with a son. Bento's life is perfect - until the day he begins to suspect that Capitú has betrayed him with his best friend. Was her love a lie? Is his son really his own? And if he dismantles his entire life, will jealousy give way to regret? For a century and a half, readers have argued over the truth at the heart of this story, and delighted in its witty ambivalence, formal inventiveness, and heartbreakingly doomed romance.

Brasilianske Machado de Assis står i dag fram som ei av dei mest særmerkte stemmene i verdslitteraturen – ein forfattar som med lågmælt ironi og skarpt blikk trengjer inn i menneskesinnet. I Alienisten og andre noveller møter vi ein forfattarskap i rørsle, frå det tilsynelatande enkle og elegante til det djupt tvitydige og urovekkjande. Her glir realisme over i det absurde, og skarp samfunnssatire står side om side med finstemte studiar av sjølvbedrag, makt og lengt. Gjennom små forteljingar om spegling og sjølvbedrag, kjærleik og ambisjon, teiknar han eit bilete av mennesket som både latterleg og tragisk, alltid på randen mellom fornuft og vanvidd. Tittelnovella Alienisten har ein særskild plass i forfattarskapen. Med sin satiriske presisjon og sin leik med fornuft og galskap gjer ho narr av både vitskapen og makta, og peikar samstundes mot den psykologiske modernismen som seinare skulle kome til å dominere europeisk litteratur. Gjennom den eksentriske legen Bacamarte stiller Machado eit spørsmål som enno er ubehageleg aktuelt: Kven har rett til å definere kven som er normal? Lenge var Machado lite lesen utanfor Brasil, men i dag blir han rekna som ein føregangsfigur for den psykologiske modernismen. Med uføreseieleg forteljarstil og stor innlevingsevne, skriv han fram mennesket som motseiingsfylt, sårbart og skremmande gjenkjenneleg.
