• Theory of Medallion (Literature), an original short story by Machado de Assis (1881), offers an analysis of the behavior of some members of Brazilian bourgeoisie society of the nineteenth century. It describes this society in a clear, precise, with a demure mood, mocking them by taking as background an honest conversation as that of a father with a son. The author brilliantly discloses his position against the mediocre and overbearing society, which advocated success at any cost, event at the expense of the impoverishment of the inner life and human relations. A "Medallion" is an awarded mediocre that distinguishes itself from an audience by manipulated impressions, vain and misleading speeches and a leadership behavior embodiment.
