Ao se preparar para um baile no Rio de Janeiro, onde encontraria sua estimada pretendente, o bacharel Duarte é interrompido pela visita inesperada do major Lopo Alves, que pretende lhe contar um tedioso manuscrito dramático por horas a fio. Entre a fantasia onírica e a realidade, neste conto, Machado brinca com os contrates entre enredos maravilhosos produzidos pelo absurdismo dos sonhos e o aborrecimento de um texto enfadonho.

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, often known as Machado de Assis, Machado, or Bruxo do Cosme Velho, (June 21, 1839, Rio de Janeiro—September 29, 1908, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short story writer. He is widely regarded as the most important writer of Brazilian literature. However, he did not gain widespread popularity outside Brazil in his own lifetime. Machado's works had a great influence on Brazilian literary schools of the late 19th century and 20th century. José Saramago, Carlos Fuentes, Susan Sontag and Harold Bloom are among his admirers and Bloom calls him "the supreme black literary artist to date."
