Conquerors: How Portugal Forged the First Global Impire

I love history, and this is one of the best written I have read. It is very informative, but reads like a novel. One gets a feel for the personality and motivation of the main protagonists which makes it far more readable than most other history books which tend to be a compilation of facts. I will definitely buy other novels written by this author.

One first history books that kept me wanting more in a long time

Learn everything you need to know about the earliest explorers from Europe. Written as if you were on the ships that first crossed the world and covers the most important age of Portugal s expansion that changed the world as we know it. Great read before you go to Lisbon because it adds so much historic context to the city's squares, castles and even the famous pastries. I will never look at Pastéis de nata the same again.

Ho comprato quest Libro in inglese poiché in italiano non l’ho trovato, motivo per cui dono ancora a meta.Comunque molto interessante e scorrevole, a volte un po’ troppo descrittivo, ma ben scritto.Lo consiglio a chi piace il genere storico

Comprei este livro para aprender mais sobre os descobrimentos portugueses
