# Memorial de Ayres

By Machado de Assis.

"Memorial de Ayres" by Machado de Assis is a novel written in 1907 and published in 1908. Organized as diary entries from 1888 to 1889, it follows a retired diplomat who returns to Brazil and records his observations and reflections. Like other works by Machado, it weaves together episodes and anecdotes rather than following a single plot. The narrator idolizes a woman named D. Carmo, and the work is considered Machado's most autobiographical novel, possibly reflecting his own life and marriage. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
