Quéda que as Mulheres Têm para os Tolos by Victor Hénaux
"Quéda que as Mulheres Têm para os Tolos" by Victor Hénaux is a satirical essay published in the late 1850s. This brief work argues that foolish men have greater success winning women's affections due to their natural boldness and superficiality, while intelligent men struggle because of their timidity and introspective nature. The essay became famous in Brazil through Machado de Assis's translation, initially published without attribution and long mistaken for an original
work, influencing themes in his later novels. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
