Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Age of Prince Henry the Navigator The following work is an account of the lives, adventures, discoveries, dreams, and ultimate fates of that wonderful family of brothers, the Portuguese Grandsons of John of Gaunt - sons of John of Aviz, and Philippa of Lancaster. In its pages will be found living, moving pictures of grim old John of Aviz himself, as well as of his sons, Duarte the Eloquent, Peter the Traveller, Henry the Navigator, John the Unfortunate, Fernando the Martyr, and last, but not least, Barcellos "le batard," head of the future Royal House of Braganza. The glimpses it gives of the colour and movement of the fifteenth century, when Moslem and Christian fought fiercely for dominance in Europe, when grim mediaeval barbarism, cruelty and lust, mixed and mingled with the pomp and circumstance of knightly chivalry, with childlike Christian piety and budding transcendentalism, makes it read more like a cunningly devised historical romance than sober history. Yet all the facts presented have been carefully verified; and often the very words of the original documents have been interwoven in the text: for the aim of the author has been to attempt, as it were, a resurrection, striving to make his readers see events, not with their own sophisticated modern eyes, but as they appeared to the men and women of the time in which they were happening. In the Iberian peninsula the work is now a classic. It has been drawn upon freely by foreign writers in the compilation of histories of discovery and colonisation. But up to the present it has never before been presented to the English public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Prince Henry the Navigator written by Peter Edward Russell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry the Navigator is a legendary, almost mythical, figure in late medieval history. Together with Columbus he was considered one of the progenitors of 'modernity', a man who dared to challenge the scientific assumptions of his age and by so doing was responsible for liberating Europeans from the geographical constraints which had bound them since the collapse of the Roman Empire. His image as imperialist and, above all, maritime, mathematical, and navigational pioneer has been slow to die. Yet there has been no English life of this 'hero of both science and of action' since Beazley's of 1895. This book, therefore, represents the first re-evaluation of his life in over a century. Peter Russell has made use of much recently published documentary evidence to provide an eloquent, sophisticated and highly readable account of Henry's life. While full attention is given to all aspects of his voyages of discovery in the African Atlantic, including their economic and cultural consequences and the difficult questions of international law and papal jurisdiction, Russell also examines in detail the other spheres of activity which contributed to his fame, or sometimes brought it into question
