Machado starts to collaborate with the local press, so Paula Brito's press, as a translator.

So he translates poetry and he translates novels, but also he is an aspiring poet.

And he's not very successful as a poet.

He very soon realizes from very harsh criticism that he's not a very good poet.

At that time, there was a flourishing publishing market, print culture in Brazil.

So with the end of censorship in 1821, all of a sudden we had lots of books being published.

So a proper print culture, bookshops.

circulating libraries.

One of the circulating libraries was the British Subscription Library, the Portuguese Royal Cabinet, and lots of newspapers and periodicals.

Many of them were ventures by European publishers that settled down in Rio de Janeiro, including Garnier.

So Garnier played a very

important role in Machado's career because he had a fashion magazine, a magazine for women.

So it was basically a magazine full of sewing material, fashion plates, and a lot of literary content.

So Machado went from being an average poet to being a very successful writer.

short story writer.

So he wrote in this specific journal, published once a month, and it was actually printed in Paris.

So his manuscripts had to travel to Paris and come back to Brazil and serialized.

And his short stories were very long, which means that he made a good amount of money because of the word count of these stories.

Oh, because these magazines were very successful.

So there were all sorts of periodicals being published in Brazil.
