Abstract: : This paper analyzes Machado de Assis’ literary career from the standpoint of journalism. Machado followed the same strategy to find his path as other writer-journalists of color, such as Teixeira e Souza and Paula Brito, had already done. After all, how could a poor, young mulatto, an orphan and epileptic, come to be the most famous writer in slave-owning Brazil? Only by entering the great halls of literature through the service entrance of journalism.
