ResumoAbstract: Memorial de Aires is not simply a novel of sadness but a novel that shows how sadness can grow into a form between the dimensions and through the movements of time. Between an existential future that can only hold nothing, a present that has become empty, and a past that is now receding from the present, time appears to move slowly. It is from this perspective that we can read Machado de Assis’ Memorial de Aires and Martin Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) as converging texts.
