A Searchable Machado de Assis Character Atlas
A Portuguese-language reference work cataloguing characters from Machado de Assis's ten novels, with alphabetical search, romance filters, literary statistics, and selected critical analyses.
Field notes
The catalogue covers the ten novels from Ressurreição through Memorial de Aires and lets visitors search within entry text, filter by romance or initial letter, and sort by verbet length. Its “Hoje no dicionário” feature selects one character for all visitors, creating a shared daily starting point rather than a purely static index. The homepage identifies C. S. Soares as organizer and says 23 entries include quotations and critical analysis. A second phase is described as planned for stories, novellas, theatre, and other works.
