Noite na Taverna

Noite na Taverna (in English: A Night at the Tavern) is a short story collection written by Brazilian Ultra-Romantic author Álvares de Azevedo under the pen name Job Stern. It was published posthumously, in 1855, three years after Azevedo's death. The book is structured as a series of embedded narratives containing five tales, as well as a prologue and an epilogue, thus totaling seven chapters, told by a group of five men sheltering inside a tavern. It is one of the most popular and influential works of Gothic fiction in Brazilian literature.
