Über den Autor
Very little is known about Pinto's life except what is related in his only work, Peregrinacao (translated as The Travels of Mendes Pinto). At his death the manuscript for the book passed to Pinto's daughters, but was not published until 1614. Pinto left his native Montemoro-Velho for Lisbon, mehr anzeigen embarking a few years later for the Orient, where he spent almost three decades. He claimed to have been a friend of St. Francis Xavier and, for more than 10 years, a pirate, merchant, and diplomat. While in Asia, he became a Jesuit lay brother for about two years, although he was possibly a Marrano. (Reader's Advisory copyright 1996) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen
No rasto do corsario von Fernão Mendes Pinto
EN PORTUGUES, NAVEGACIONES DEL AUTOR POR LOS MARES DE CHINA, SIGLO XVI
The biographical memories of a Portuguese adventurer in 16th century Asia from an original contemporaneous manuscript. Features one of the first accounts of firearms introduction in Japan. An impressive raw account of the clash of hugely different civilizations in the early age of European maritime expansion and of the controversial role of a peculiar strain of courageous and often unscrupulous adventurers.
Un récit extraordinaire des aventures d'un marin portugais au 16ème siècle, à une époque où l'occident découvrait l'extrême-orient. Tour à tour soldat au service de la couronne, mercenaire au service de puissances étrangères, commerçant, naufragé et même esclave, ce livre est une tranche d'histoire qui se lit avec bonheur.
