"Travels in Brazil" by Henry Koster is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text provides a detailed exploration of the author's observations and experiences during his travels from England to Brazil, particularly focusing on areas such as Pernambuco and Olinda. Koster documents the landscape, culture, economy, and political structure of Brazil, offering insights into the lives of both colonists and indigenous peoples in this vibrant region. The beginning of the work captures Koster's departure from Liverpool and his subsequent arrival in Pernambuco, highlighting his initial impressions of the landscape and the bustling activity in the port town. He reflects on the local architecture, the natural beauty surrounding Recife and Olinda, and the diverse inhabitants, including merchants and local guides. In this opening portion, Koster conveys a sense of wonder and curiosity about his new surroundings, setting the stage for his further explorations into the Brazilian hinterlands and the rich cultural tapestry he encounters as he interacts with both locals and fellow expatriates.
