Translation in Brazilian Portuguese of the short story “Aunt Sonya's Sofa” (Кушетка тёти Сони), by Mikhail A. Kuzmin (1872-1936), preceded by a brief introduction, which aims to present the text and to comment the translation. As the first Russian writer to deal with homosexuality in his texts, Kuzmin's prose has been little studied and translated.
