Dom Casmurro - by Machado de Assis

In Dom Casmurro, the narrator Bento Santiago revisits the childhood he spent on Rua de Matacavalos and tells the story of the love and misadventures he experienced with Capitu, one of the most enigmatic and intriguing characters in Brazilian literature. In the pages of this novel, there is the version of a man disturbed by jealousy, who gradually reveals his complex psychology and entangles the reader in his ambiguous narrative about whether or not the adultery of the woman with hungover eyes happened, one of the biggest controversies of Brazilian literature.
