Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Beautiful Rio De Janeiro

Travelling across England after a two years' residence in Rio de Janeiro I found myself alone in the train with a schoolboy, aged ten, and asked him if he knew anything about Brazil. No, was the little Englishman's reply; we are only doing Europe. But you know where it is P I suggested. America, he replied rather timorously. And what do you imagine it to be like? I asked.

Don't know. But you must imagine something about it - is it all ice, do you think? He thought quite half a minute, and then ventured this very respectable guess Prairies and fields. Certainly he was right for a fifth of the country but he should have added forests, mountains and great rivers.
