Produced by Pedro Saborano "Historias Sem Data" by Machado de Assis is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores various themes through narratives that often blur the lines between morality, society, and human behavior, showcasing the author's signature wit and psychological insight. The initial story, "A Igreja do Diabo," introduces a creative twist on the notion of religion and the role of the Devil, showcasing Assis's ability to provoke thought while entertaining readers. The opening of the collection presents "A Igreja do Diabo," where the Devil decides to establish his own church to rival other religions and to bring to light the nature of humanity's virtues and vices. In a humorous and satirical dialogue with God, the Devil outlines his strategy to collect followers by celebrating the very sins that are typically condemned. As he sets forth with this audacious plan, readers are drawn into a narrative that examines profound questions about morality, belief, and the allure of spiritual hypocrisy. The story sets the tone for the collection, promising a blend of satire, philosophical inquiry, and sharp social commentary that characterizes Machado de Assis’s work.
