520			_a"A summer journey to Brazil" by Alice R. Humphrey is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. It follows an American traveler from Europe across the South Atlantic to Brazil, blending vivid scenes of ports and landscapes with sharp observations on social customs, public health, missionary work, and the booming coffee trade. The tone is practical and curious, often contrasting British, American, and Brazilian ways, and attentive to Brazil’s shift from empire to republic. Readers interested in ocean travel, Brazilian cities, and cultural commentary will find accessible sketches and informed context. The opening of the book traces the voyage from New York via Southampton and Lisbon into tropical seas, detailing shipboard routines, mixed nationalities, equator “sports,” and contrasting Sunday services before the first Brazilian landfall at Pernambuco. Short stops at Bahia and then the dramatic entrance to Rio de Janeiro lead to brisk portraits of the harbor, city institutions (including the Y.M.C.A. and botanical garden), and the cooler mountain retreat of Petropolis with its diplomatic set and Protestant schools. Moving south, the narrative centers on Santos and the seaside resort of Guarujá—coffee-laden docks, memories of yellow fever, and intimate snapshots of Brazilian family life—then contrasts British and U.S. consular practice through telling anecdotes. It culminates, in this portion, with São Paulo’s ascent by cable railway, the city’s mix of grime and modernization, the pivotal role of Mackenzie College and “American schools” in education reform, glimpses of vast coffee plantations, and the start of the homeward passage via Bahia and Pernambuco, dotted with sea life and Caribbean waypoints.
