Publisher's Summary:

NOTE: This audiobook is in Portuguese.

In this hilarious indictment of 19th-century science, an alienist (the 19th-century equivalent of a psychiatrist) attempts to discover a foolproof means to distinguish sanity from madness. He establishes a hospital for the mentally ill in a small town and begins to investigate the nature of mental illness ? greatly upsetting the townspeople.

Original Portuguese description:

Para o Dr. Sim?o Bacamarte, a loucura, objeto de seus estudos, era uma ilha perdida no oceano da raz?o. No entanto, quanto mais a estudava, mais suspeitava de que a loucura era, de fato, um continente! Tire suas proprias conclus?es ouvindo "O Alienista", de Machado de Assis. Mas lembre-se: de perto, ninguem e normal.
