Fiction

In Machado de Assis's short story "To Live!", Ahasverus encounters Prometheus in a setting charged with tension and symbolism. The dialogue between the two figures reveals conflicts linked to eternity, suffering, and the condition of beings condemned to endure time. Without resorting to direct action, the text is built on the power of ideas and the contrast between their experiences, creating a dense and unsettling atmosphere.
