1856 1^st ed Life in BRAZIL Thomas Ewbank South America Sao Paulo Rio de Janeiro

“Life in Brazil” is a detailed 19^th-century account of Thomas Ewbank’s journey to Brazil, where he explores the nation’s culture, arts, customs, and natural beauty. The book offers a vivid picture of Brazilian society and serves as a window into the country’s way of life. Ewbank also delves into religious aspects, discussing the influence of Roman Catholicism on the Brazilian people and its connection to ancient pagan practices. In addition to religious matters, Ewbank covers various aspects of Brazilian life, including arts, manners, customs, architecture, trades, tools, pottery, food, slavery, animals, agricultural products, climate, diseases, population, and antiquities. This diverse array of topics makes the book a comprehensive portrait of tropical life in Brazil during the 19th century. This book remains relevant as the topics discussed are largely unchanged aspects of modern Brazilian society.
