Entre los textos aquí reunidos destaca El alienista; en él se nos relata la vuelta a su ciudad natal del doctor Simón Bocamarte, quien en su afán por estudiar la locura construye su propio manicomio, al que llama Casa Verde. Sus investigaciones le llevan a pensar que alli donde falta la razon tiene que estar la locura; su empeño por analizar a todo aquel que no razone segun un criterio cientifico acaba siendo internado para su estudio psicologico, provocando que gran parte de la poblacion acabe internada, lo que incitara la indignacion del pueblo, que liderados por un barbero amenaza con provocar una revolucion. A partir de este punto el cuento entra en una sucesion de idas y venidas entre el poder, la locura y la razon en un universo tan machadiano que el lector no podra dejar de asombrarse de la capacidad ironica y el humor del autor para retratar al ser humano. El resto de los escritos siguen esta logica donde los personajes se enfrentan a las contradicciones propias de un mundo sin logica y cuyo orden es cuestionado constantemente por la naturaleza desordenada, donde una pieza encaja en la siguiente pero descoloca la posterior, y cada decision o falta de la misma provoca un infinito caos. Escrito en un periodo de constantes revoluciones, levantamientos y estudios cientificos de la psique humana, Machado de Assis despliega en estas paginas todos los recursos literarios necesarios para poder describir un mundo corrupto, lleno de necedades, cuyo ultimo fin es al menos poder entretenernos.
