They relate daily happenings, personal and professional impressions, published as they were written down without corrections. Photographs, sketches and maps were added later. The qualification ‘Tristes Tropiques’ of the region where the events took place reflects the remorse that I felt about the privations and sufferings that were the lot of my wife during our life in Rondônia.
