In 1556, the French Protestant Jean de Léry joined an expedition to Rio de Janeiro and other regions of Brazil. What he saw became one of the richest accounts of colonial Brazil.
Léry describes in detail daily life, the customs of the native peoples and the impact of contact with Europeans. His gaze, somewhere between curiosity and strangeness, makes the work an important document for literature and anthropology.
