Was there an alternative to the creation of European colonial empires in the sixteenth century? Why did the glorious era of the Great Discovery turn into a glory of plantation, plunder and slave trade, for which European countries now have to apologize? And were there even people in the 16th century who thought not of conquest but of learning and recognizing each other? Of course there were, and one of them was the Portuguese humanist Damian de Gois, whose mysterious death has not yet been investigated. Damian was friends with Erasmus of Rotterdam, carried out secret errands for kings and wrote the official chronicle of Portugal, but at the end of his life he found himself in the clutches of the Inquisition on charges of heresy and mysteriously died. This book presents to Russian readers a new bright personality of the Renaissance era and helps to solve a murder 400 years ago.
