Description

Explore the historical connection between Europe and Asia through this detailed anthology. Starting from 1513, when the Portuguese established the first maritime route to China, this book provides a window into a period defined by the quest for trade, territory, and the spread of Christianity. This collection features translated extracts from first-hand accounts written by those who lived through these era-defining moments. You will read the perspectives of contemporary travellers, merchants, missionaries, and officials. The text includes writings from Joao de Barros, a leading chronicler of Portuguese overseas efforts. By examining these primary sources, readers can understand the role of the Macau peninsula as a vital exchange point for trade between China and Japan. This work serves as a valuable resource for anyone studying the history of global maritime routes and the early interactions between different civilizations during the Age of Discoveries.
