Este volume reúne contos em que Machado de Assis brinca com o limite entre o que parece normal e o que foge à lógica, trazendo histórias cheias de dúvida, mistério e surpresa. As narrativas colocam personagens diante de acontecimentos estranhos, coincidências inquietantes e situações difíceis de explicar, criando uma atmosfera em que certezas começam a ruir. Ideias como destino, fé, identidade e tempo atravessam os contos, sempre com ironia e tensão, conduzindo escolhas que escapam do controle racional.

Mergulhe na essência de Machado com 21 contos de crítica social, ironia, imoralidade, traição, conflitos e muita emoção. Conheça personagens marcantes, presos a escolhas que nunca levam a um final feliz, cujas ambições, desejos, culpa e apatia sempre vêm em primeiro lugar.

O amor nem sempre leva a um final feliz, e às vezes nem chega perto disso. Cheios de desejo, ciúme, vaidade, fúria e frustração, estes contos acompanham promessas de amor que terminam em tragédias, expectativas que só levam à desilusão e relações marcadas por silêncio e controle. Amar se torna um risco, e se entregar pode ser irreversível.

Este volume reúne contos em que Machado de Assis desmonta as máscaras sociais e revela como poder, ambição e conveniência costumam falar mais alto que qualquer discurso moral. Os contos irônicos e cheios de tensão acompanham personagens que negociam valores, exploram brechas e se adaptam ao jogo para sobreviver ou se destacar. Em escolas, repartições, igrejas e salões, surgem disputas silenciosas, acordos velados e decisões que mostram até onde as pessoas estão dispostas a ir para conseguir o que querem.
