1780 Voyages in BRAZIL Alvarez Cabral Panama Amazon Rio de Janiero Columbus

The best book of its kind!

A rare book La Harpes General History of Voyages! This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by several other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.

According to Sabin, La Harpes Voyages is

â€œa work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”

This volume includes some of the worlds most famous voyages including:

Voyages in South America

Natural History of the Guianas, Panama, and Brazil

Establishments in Brazil

Interesting perspective on Columbus having the chance to discover Brazil, but instead insisting on not leaving Trinidad.

Discovery of Brazil by Portuguese explorer Pedro Alvarez Cabral.

The influence of European wars on the developments of Portuguese colonization in Brazil

Growth of Rio de Janiero

Description of the Amazon River through Brazil

Curious description on the jararacucu, venomous pit vipers with stories of the men they have killed.
