Brazilian Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis was the finest storyteller of nineteenth-century Latin America. "Midnight Mass and Other Stories" offers a selection of Machado's tales, from the oft-translated and sly erotic title story, a classic of Brazilian literature, to such brief ironic tales, not previously translated into English, as "A Game, " "Coimbra the Clerk, " and "Sooner the Tarpeian Rock." Also included is "Botany Lesson, " Machado's most successful work for the stage.
