An order is issued. A population may not meet, or touch or speak to each other. They stay inside, and the reality of a few streets in a capital city emerges.

Três deliciosos contos oriundos do clássico "Brás, Bexiga e Barra Funda", onde Alcântara Machado explora os italianismos de São Paulo do início do século XX, com o pobre menino Gaetaninho e seu sonho premonitório, a sedução que o automóvel exerce sobre Carmela e, por fim, o sonho da riqueza do esperto comerciante Natale e sua esposa.

Duas pérolas do livro "Laranja-da-China", de Alcântara Machado. Em "O revoltado Robespierre", um curto trajeto de bonde feito pelo personagem é transformando em narrativa com base em seus gestos e comentários. Em "O patriota Washignton", outra viagem, esta de automóvel, de São Paulo a Mogi das Cruzes, é o alicerce para a exposição do patriotismo exagerado do protagonista.

Dois contos com a usual excelência Alcântara Machado na constituição das personagens! Em "A piedosa Teresa", a linguagem coloquial dos participantes da festa vai se costurando à letra da canção de São Gonçalo, para trazer ao leitor o universo de Dona Teresa. Já em "O tímido José", a violência na madrugada fria de São Paulo é quem domina a cena.

Las situaciones ocurren en la Barcelona cosmopolita, en la cocina de un restaurante en el Collserola y en las calles del centro de la ciudad.
