Through the Brazilian Wilderness - Softcover

Reseña del editor

“The very pathetic myth of "beneficent nature" could not deceive even the least wise being if he once saw for himself the iron cruelty of life in the tropics. Of course "nature" - in common parlance a wholly inaccurate term, by the way, especially when used as if to express a single entity - is entirely ruthless, no less so as regards types than as regards individuals, and entirely indifferent to good or evil, and works out her ends or no ends with utter disregard of pain and woe.”
