The book by British historian Roger Crowley is dedicated to the era of great conquests and geographical discoveries XV-XVI centuries. For less than thirty years of the reign of King Manuel I Portuguese seafarers managed to tame the winds of the Atlantic, conquer the oceans and establish themselves in uncharted lands - Vasco da Gama opened the sea route to India, Pedro Cabral reached the shores of South America, Francisco de Almeida became the first viceroy of India, Afonso de Albuquerque founded colonies in the Persian Gulf and Malacca. The author vividly and vividly describes the life and exploits of these intrepid navigators, shipwrecks, sea battles and other severe trials that fell to the share of the founders of the first world empire. Roger Crowley also describes navigation and shipbuilding, trade, diplomacy, and the development of science during the period of Portuguese expansion that marked the beginning of the New Age.
