| Summary | "Twee groote steden in Brazilië" by François Crastre is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, highlighting their development, societal characteristics, and the rivalry between the two urban centers. Through detailed observations, the author presents the Brazilian character, the nature of its population, and the various aspects of life in these bustling cities. The opening of the work vividly describes Brazil's rapid urban development and the eradication of yellow fever, which previously hindered immigration. Crastre contrasts the expectations of a visitor arriving in Rio de Janeiro with the realities of the city's architecture and urban planning, characterizing it as poorly constructed and lacking aesthetic appeal compared to its natural beauty. He introduces aspects of Brazilian life, such as the coffee culture, the cultural richness of the country, and the evolving societal dynamics between different ethnic groups, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Brazil's complex identity throughout the book.
