It encourages readers to engage with the island both through imagination and planned visits, discussing the customs of the people and providing practical travel advice. The opening of the book sets the stage for a conceptual journey to Puerto Rico, answering questions about its recent acquisition by the United States and stimulating curiosity about the island. George introduces Puerto Rico’s dimensions, geography, and favorable climate, as well as its rich history that dates back to Christopher Columbus's discovery. The narrative describes the landscape, including its mountainous terrain, vegetation, and the economic activities of its inhabitants. The text provides foundational knowledge to facilitate understanding of Puerto Rico's cultural and historical context, preparing readers for an imaginative experience of the island's sights, sounds, and daily life.
