RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Uma vocação em busca de línguas JF Luso-Brazilian Review JO Luso-Braz Rev FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 36 OP 44 DO 10.1353/lbr.0.0057 VO 46 IS 1 A1 Hélio de Seixas Guimarães YR 2009 UL http://lbr.uwpress.org/content/46/1/36.abstract AB During Machado de Assis’ lifetime, literary and editorial productions became more and more internationalized, with intense circulation of fictional and non-fictional texts among periodicals from the two Hemispheres and varying latitudes. This article examines how Machado participated in this process, reading and collaborating with foreign publications, publishing some of his novels in spaces disputed with translated “ feuilletons,” engaging himself in three frustrated attempts to be translated into German and finally trying to have his works published in Portugal.
