Summary

Prepare-se para uma viagem a mares nunca dantes navegados. Neste audiolivro, fruto de uma extraordinária pesquisa, que incluiu a consulta a centenas de manuscritos raros e até então pouco consultados, o historiador Fábio Pestana mostra como Portugal construiu, primeiro graças à pimenta, depois ao açúcar, o seu vasto império colonial. Articula, com singular maestria, a Grande História com o cotidiano, colocando o ouvinte no centro dos acontecimentos políticos, sociais, econômicos e culturais da grande epopéia portuguesa. A expansão ultramarina é descrita com toda a sua dose peculiar de fascínio e aventura, mas também com suas crueldades, invasões, extermínios de nativos, "guerras santas" e outras brutalidades. Descubra o que fez do sabor picante da pimenta e, também, da doçura do açúcar as mais cobiçadas e valiosas mercadorias, em uma época marcada por disputas acirradas pelo poder, terríveis naufrágios, pirataria internacional e expedições rumo ao desconhecido.

Please note: This audiobook is in Brazilian Portuguese.
