Sobre IBD

Em O alienista, Machado de Assis constrói uma brilhante sátira sobre a loucura, a ciência e o poder. O prestigiado médico Simão Bacamarte regressa à cidade de Itaguaí decidido a estudar cientificamente as doenças mentais e funda um manicômio onde começa a internar aqueles que considera desequilibrados. Mas as suas teorias tornam-se cada vez mais extremas e absurdas, alterando por completo a vida da comunidade.Com ironia, inteligência e um estilo surpreendentemente moderno, Machado de Assis reflete sobre os limites da razão e a fragilidade das certezas humanas. O alienista é uma obra breve, aguda e profundamente atual, considerada um dos grandes clássicos da literatura brasileira.
