“This book is an unpublished account of Briant Barrett’s journey to the Azores in 1812-1814. Besides recounting his experiences, Barrett doesn’t shy away from giving his opinions and considerations about everything he sees, from the landscapes to the everyday life of the Azorean people to the climate. A tender and interesting account that allows us to travel and paint a picture of the Azores in the 19th century. This book results from the translation and revision of Barrett’s manuscript, which is in the Ponta Delgada Public Library.”
