Foreign travelers in Rio de Janeiro joanino

In *Travantes Exteriores no Rio de Janeiro Joanino*, Jean Marcel Carvalho França follows the same spirit as his previous books. In a work of meticulous research, he retrieves, translates, and analyzes narratives by foreigners who visited Rio de Janeiro during the colonial period (1809-1818). This fascinating work critically examines the evolution of Rio de Janeiro's culture, customs, and geography from a foreign perspective. The anthology presents a rich collection of texts by foreign travelers who passed through the country between 1809 and 1818. It is an essential work for understanding the process of building Rio de Janeiro and Brazil from a European perspective.
