A chapter of hats: selected stories
One night, four or five gentlemen were debating several questions of a transcendental nature; the various views were expressed, the discussion was not a heated one. The house was on Santa Teresa hill, near the centre of Rio de Janeiro, and the room was small, lit by candles, whose glow melted mysteriously into the moonlight outside. Between the city, with its excitement and agitation, and the sky, where the stars twinkled through the limpid, calm atmosphere, were our four or five enquirers into metaphysical matters, amicably resolving the most arduous problems of the universe.
