Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Uraca, the White Indian recounts the discovery of Brazil, drawing on Pero Vaz de Caminha's famous letter to King Manuel I as its foundational document.In the year 1500 - an age of maritime discoveries and fierce rivalries with Castile and other European powers - Lisbon seethes with spies whose services are paid in gold. When young Goncalo uncovers a crime of high treason, he is forced to flee for his life by enlisting in Pedro Alvares Cabral's fleet, where he endures the brutal fate of the ship's boys on the long voyage toward India. Even at sea, his enemies pursue him, laying a trap for him and his companion Mateus - a trap from which they could scarcely escape without the unexpected help of the Tupi, a people unlike any they had ever seen: naked, copper-skinned, adorned with paint and feathers, living in a land untouched by so-called "civilized" men. In this new world, among such unfamiliar people, the young grumete discovers love, undergoes a harrowing initiation, and is reborn as someone entirely Other - after a fierce inner battle that transforms him into a being of two worlds and two opposing civilizations."The target audience is young readers, although the book will naturally appeal to a much wider range of readers who enjoy stories with historical themes and who will welcome access to this work. As for the writing and style, it is fluent and engaging, conveying the plot with a light touch and a contemporary expressiveness, while also intentionally drawing on an archaic tone inspired by the historical sources used by the author, which lends the narrative its essential local color and atmosphere."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. No ano de 1500, tempo de Descobrimentos e rivalidades com Castela e outras nacoes da Europa, Lisboa fervilha de espioes cujos servicos sao pagos a peso de ouro. Goncalo descobre um crime de alta traicao e, para salvar a vida, tem de se engajar na armada de Pedro Alvares Cabral, onde sofre o destino terrivel dos grumetes nas naus a caminho da India. Mesmo ai os seus inimigos o perseguem preparando-lhe (e a Mateus) uma armadilha de que dificilmente poderia escapar sem a ajuda de uns novos e inesperados amigos, os Tupi - uma tribo de gente nua, de uma raca nunca antes vista, com a pele cor de cobre coberta de pinturas e de penas -, encontrados numa terra intocada pelo homem dito "civilizado".Neste novo mundo e entre tao estranho povo, o grumete vai conhecer o amor, sofrer uma angustiosa iniciacao e renascer como Outro, apos uma tremenda batalha dentro si mesmo, como um ser de dois mundos e duas civilizacoes opostas: "Goncalo nao sabia como lidar com as novas sensacoes e sentimentos descobertos desde que aportara aquela terra e conhecera um povo pardo e nu a viver como Adao e Eva no Paraiso. E a formosa filha da floresta, dormindo confiante nos seus bracos, numa noite desfizera com as suas caricias os nos da revolta, do odio e do medo, reabrindo no seu coracao o espaco da ternura e do amor.""O publico alvo e o juvenil, embora a sua leitura possa naturalmente agradar a um bem mais largo leque de leitores que gostam de ler obras com motivos historicos e que com agrado poderao ter acesso a esta obra. Quanto ao tipo de escrita e estilo, considero que ele e fluente e agradavel, comunicando de forma ligeira o enredo com uma expressividade actual, de mistura com uma intencao de se aproximar de uma linguagem arcaizante, tirada das fontes de que a autora se serviu e dao a necessaria cor local e ambiente a narrativa.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. L'Espion de Dom Joao II - Pero da CovilhaDom Joao II, le Prince Parfait, dont meme les ennemis reconnaissaient la grandeur et saluaient les merites, fut l'un des plus grands souverains de son temps. Pero da Covilha etait l'espion le plus sagace de ce monarque visionnaire, qui le choisissait pour les missions secretes ou tout autre aurait echoue. Protagoniste de l'un des exploits les plus extraordinaires de l'epopee des Decouvertes, sans portrait ni effigie pour le rappeler au souvenir, il ne fut connu que comme l'ecuyer Pero, suivi du nom de son lieu d'origine, da Covilha, la bourgade de la Beira dont il etait natif. En 1486, il est envoye par Dom Joao II, accompagne d'Afonso de Paiva, pour une mission en quete d'un itineraire terrestre vers les Indes des epices, et pour recueillir des nouvelles du royaume du Pretre Jean.Le roman narre sa peregrination solitaire durant six annees a travers trois continents, devoilant des mythes et legendes seculaires, decouvrant des empires perdus et des royaumes jamais visites par un Europeen, tracant sur les cartes imprecises de son epoque les contours et les chemins de l'avenir. Une Quete mystique, accomplie dans un temps et un espace reels, semee de triomphes, de perils et de souffrances veritables, qui ne peut avoir de parallele que dans la quete du Graal.L'Espion de Dom Joao II est un roman historique, mais aussi de voyages et d'action, avec une narration lineaire, appropriee a ce personnage solaire, un aventurier accompli qui, bien que ne et eleve dans le Portugal du XVe siecle, n'en demeure pas moins un melange de Chevalier Errant, de James Bond et d'Indiana Jones, sans technologie toutefois, mais dote de talents extraordinaires qui le distinguerent des hommes de son temps.Une attention particuliere est accordee a la contextualisation et au detail. Les personnages, les faits et les dates sont historiques, comme le sont les coutumes des peuples et les lieux qui servent a tisser l'intrigue et a mettre le heros en action. Pour les curieux des arcanes de l'Histoire, une chronologie du mythe du Pretre Jean a ete preparee en appendice, qui, d'une certaine maniere, complete les episodes narres dans le roman.
