adventurous informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

A truly engrossing read, packed full of historical information. While there is a heavy focus on the European explorers, the author does his due diligence to the native people of Brazil, culminating in a true if sobering understanding of what once was. Vivid descriptions of ailments and body horror do lie within, so tread carefully.
