This twovolume work documents his expedition to NorthWest Brazil in 19031905. Though aimed at a lay readership his account provides a wealth of information on the area and its indigenous tribes their languages and customs.This twovolume work by Theodor KochGrnberg (18721924) director of the Ethnographical Museum in Berlin tells the story of his major expedition to NorthWest Brazil and describes the indigenous tribes and the local geography. In contrast to KochGrnbergs many monographs and essays on the same subject (listed in his Foreword) this book is directed at a lay readership. KochGrnberg states his aim of correcting a false impression of the indigenous peoples drawn from novels about Indians read during ones youth and the accounts of his explorations are permeated by a deeplyheld respect for the humanity he encounters. Although its primary interest to scholars lies in its anthropological and ethnographical content the text is full of botanical geographical and linguistic detail interspersed with photographs taken by the author.
