Synopsis
Excerpt from Os Lusíadas (the Lusiads), Vol. 2 of 2: Englished by Richard Francis Burton; Edited by His Wife, Isabel Burton
Ye know 'tis now their usance and decree, whereof they are observantists entire, to levy restless hosts of Heathenry, and harm the hearts that dear christ's love desire While fierce Alecto 'mid your chivalry for ever soweth tares of wrath and ire Look an your eyes to risks like these ye close, how they and you to you be deadliest foes.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a vibrant tapestry of exploration, cultural encounters, and reflections on faith and empire during the Age of Discovery. The author masterfully transports readers to the 16th century, immersing them in the Portuguese voyages to India and the encounters with the diverse peoples and customs of the Malabar Coast. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Vasco da Gama and his crew, chronicling their perilous journey across uncharted waters, their arrival in Calicut, and their interactions with the Samorin, the ruler of the region. The book delves into the intricacies of cultural exchange, as the Portuguese grapple with the unfamiliar religious practices, social structures, and political landscape of India. Through vivid descriptions and insightful commentary, the author explores themes of cultural difference, religious conflict, and the pursuit of wealth and power. The book contrasts the motivations and actions of European powers with the rich traditions and complex societies they encounter in the East. Ultimately, this book offers a profound meditation on the legacies of colonialism and the enduring impact of cross-cultural encounters, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of human history and the interconnectedness of our world.
