Travels in Brazil, first published in 1816, has proved to be ageless. It is a remarkably full and balanced account of one significant region of that mammoth land, Brazil. Henry Koster, an intuitively good storyteller, easily and naturally wove the commonplace as well as the unique of everyday experience into the fabric of words which fairly mirrored the realities of life. Without abusing truth, Koster's narrative is picturesque and anecdotal, often exhibiting an almost casual conversational tone. Even as he generally advocated evolutionary change in Brazil, he was unceasing in his condemnation of slavery, the slave trade, and those "useless beings," the friars of northeastern Brazil. Time and time again he exhibited a total lack of color prejudice. What he liked, he liked as an honest man; what he disliked, he disliked as an honest man. His interest in Brazilian manners and customs was unceasing: dances and dinners, festivals and funerals, weddings and work patterns, christenings and conversations, houses and hospitality--all these, and more, repeatedly drew his attention which blended curiosity and objectivity about Brazilian life from the level of governors and bishops to slaves and Indians. His sensitive use of his own language resulted in a book that is not dated. At all times his personal experiences can readily be separated from the hearsay, anecdotes, and history which he uses on occasion. Reprinted here in less than one-half its original size, this edition retains the author's own words. The abridgment has simplified the wordy chapter headings; occasional chapters have been condensed. All chapters based on historical research have been deleted. Koster's employment of foreign words, informative and colorful rather than pedantic and irritating, is honored and retained; the only changes being those that bring his Portuguese into line with modern Brazilian practice.--From book jacket.

Not illustrated. 1816 edition. Excerpt: ... THE general equity of the laws regarding free persons of colour in the Portugueze South American possessions, has been to a certain degree extended to that portion of the population which is in a state of slavery; and the lives of the slaves of Brazil have been rendered less hard and less intolerable than those of the degraded beings who drag on their cheerless existence under the dominion of other nations. The Brazilian slave is taught the religion of his master, and hopes are held out of manumission from his own exertions; but still he is a slave, and must be guided by another man's will; and this feeling alone takes away much of the pleasure which would be felt from the faithful discharge of his duty, if it was voluntarily performed. The consciousness that if the directions were not willingly attended to, the arbitrary will of the master would enforce their performance, removes much of the desire to please; obedience to a command is not required with any idea that refusal can possibly ensue, and therefore no merit is attached to its accomplishment by him whose orders are obeyed; nor does the slave feel that he is doing in any degree more than would be enforced if he had made any doubts. The world has heard so much, and from so many quarters, of the enormities which have been committed by slave-owners in the colonies with which England has had any communication; both from her own possessions, and from those of other SLAVERY. 403 nations, that no doubts can be entertained of their existence. That such evil deeds are of frequent occurrence, I would not wish to suppose, though that they are dreadfully too frequent is well known; I had rather not be persuaded that man in so depraved a state is often to be met with; -- that many civilized...
