Excerpt from A Naturalist in Brazil: The Record of a Year's Observations of Her Flora, Her Fauna, and Her People He who wishes to derive both enjoyment and profit from a voyage to Brazil must above all become intimate with the natural life of the country. After all, what is it that he most of all wants to know? He wants, I think, to know the name of those great scarlet flowers; and what sort of palms those are that overlook the housetops; and how one can best enjoy a sight of monkeys, parrots and humming birds. But as yet he has no conception of the wonders which are revealed by an insight into the lives of the orchids and the insects! The best Brazilian Baedeker will therefore be a guide to the flora and fauna of Brazil. And the task which the author has proposed to himself in the writing of this book is to produce such a guide. But the glittering virgin forests, the sun-steeped wildernesses, the sea-beaches overshadowed by rustling palm-trees, invariably offered me, when I went forth each day with renewed expectation, so much that was new and lovely and fascinating, that I very soon formed the resolve to share what I had felt and seen with those for whom a voyage to Brazil is impracticable. My own visit to that country followed upon an invitation from the Government of the State of Pernambuco; my task was to combat the insects which were injuring the plantations. My work led me first into the interior of the north eastern States, and later southwards, to 850 Paulo and Jahl'i. It not only gave me an insight into all the branches of Brazilian agriculture and colonization; it led also to friendly intercourse With the Brazil ians, so that I was able to complete my description of the country and its civilization by some account of the character and the customs of its human inhabitants.

First published in 1863, this is a first-hand account of Henry Walter Bates' eleven-year expedition to the river Amazon in 1848, during which he discovered some eight thousand species unknown to the natural sciences. Written in the first person, it records the astonishing range of natural life in the regions traversed by the Amazon and its tributaries. Describing his adventures south of the equator, Bates takes the reader through Par�, Tocantins, Camet�, Maraj�, Carip�, Obydos, Manos, Santarem, Tapajos, and Ega, descriptively cataloguing the rich vegetation, aboriginal population, and wondrous birds, animals and insects of these regions. More than just a scientist's log, the work that took Bates three years to complete was considered by Darwin to be 'the best work of natural history travels ever published in England.' This third edition of the book (1873) also contains numerous illustrations by the noted zoologist Joseph Wolf.

This book consists of the study of five Brazilian novels produced in the last decades of the nineteenth century: O mulato (1881), O cortigo (1890), both by Aluisio Azevedo, A came (1888), by Julio Ribeiro, Bom-Crioulo (1895), by Adolfo Caminha, and Dona Guidinha do Pogo (1897) by Manoel de Oliveira Paiva. These novels, traditionally considered naturalist, portray tensions caused by the realignment, or, better still, the sudden visibility of people such as strong women, blacks, mulattoes, and homosexuals in Brazilian fiction.
