This is one of the seven plays of Sophocles in the full editions by R.C. Jebb, all of which will be reissued under the BCP imprint.

The later novels of Machado de Assis -- notably Dom Casmurro and Esau and Jacob -- are well known in this country, but the earlier novels have never been translated.

The story is a simple one-of love lost and love found. Of love lost by Estevao, amiable but vacillating, who is bemused...
