Publisher's Synopsis
A Journey In Brazil is a travelogue written by Louis Jean R. Agassiz in 1871. The book chronicles the author's journey through Brazil, a country he visited for scientific exploration and research. Agassiz was a renowned naturalist and geologist, and his observations and insights about Brazil's flora, fauna, and geology make up the bulk of the book. Agassiz's journey took him from Rio de Janeiro to the Amazon River basin, where he explored the region's rich biodiversity and interacted with local communities. He describes the Amazon rainforest in vivid detail, from the towering trees to the diverse species of animals and insects that call it home. Throughout the book, Agassiz also reflects on Brazil's history, culture, and politics. He writes about the country's complex social and racial dynamics, as well as its struggles with poverty and inequality. A Journey In Brazil is an important historical document that offers a unique perspective on Brazil in the late 19th century. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in natural history, travel, and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
