Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the experiences of a team of explorers as they set out from Rio de Janeiro in 1872 on an ambitious expedition into the heart of Brazil. The author vividly describes the expedition's early days in Rio, capturing the sights, sounds and often peculiar customs of the city. Throughout the narrative, the author reflects upon the striking contrasts between European and Brazilian society. These contrasts, coupled with the enduring legacy of slavery, form a backdrop to the larger themes of health, sanitation, and the well-being of the Brazilian people. Although written in the late 19th century, this book unveils the deep roots of many social issues still facing Brazil today, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking an understanding of this unique and fascinating country.
