Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The author of this book describes the journey and survival of a group of Portuguese explorers who, in 1593, were shipwrecked off the coast of southern Africa. Faced with unfamiliar territory, dwindling supplies, and the challenges of the natural environment, the survivors embarked on an arduous journey to reach the nearest Portuguese settlement. This book provides a detailed account of the navigators' experiences, the obstacles they encountered, and the resilience they demonstrated in the face of adversity. The author draws parallels between their journey and the broader context of European exploration during this period, examining the motivations, challenges, and consequences of these expeditions. Through the lens of this specific shipwreck and the subsequent journey of the survivors, the author explores themes of human endurance, cultural exchange, and the impact of exploration on both the explorers and the indigenous people they encountered. The book offers insights into the complexities of inter-cultural relationships and the profound impact that European colonization had on the African continent.
