Philosopher or dog?

Machado de Assis 1839-1908 (Author). Wilson, Clotilde. (Added Author).

Summary: The rich and eccentric philosopher Quincas Borbas names his dog after himself, because he knows his pet will outlive him. Quincas does die first, leaving his fortune to his friend Rubiao, provided that he care for his dog. The dim-witted Rubiao is hardly prepared for the life that awaits him - "What was he a year ago? A teacher. What is he now? A capitalist" - when he forsakes his quiet hometown for Quinca's Rio mansion.
