In "The Alienist", renowned physician Dr. Simão Bacamarte decides to found an asylum in the small town of Itaguaà to study madness. However, his obsessive quest to define sanity leads to the hospitalization of increasingly normal citizens—and the town is plunged into chaos. Machado de Assis brilliant satire questions the boundaries between reason and madness, power and science.
