This historical account documents a journey to northern Brazil during the early seventeenth century. As a primary source from the colonial era, the text presents significant linguistic challenges. You will encounter archaic spelling, specialized religious terminology, and complex sentence structures typical of older academic writing. The narrative focuses on missionary activities and descriptions of the region. It is a demanding read that requires patience with historical syntax and vocabulary, offering a unique perspective on the Portuguese language as it was used centuries ago.

Questions about this book
What level of Portuguese do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 11 h 6 min at a native pace, spread over 186 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
