Pero Vaz de Caminha Book order

Pêro Vaz de Caminha was a Portuguese knight who accompanied Pedro Álvares Cabral to India in 1500, serving as secretary to the royal factory. His most significant contribution is the detailed official report, dated May 1, 1500, documenting the discovery of Brazil by Cabral's fleet in April of that year. This letter, known as 'Carta de Pêro Vaz de Caminha,' offers invaluable historical and cultural insights into the early Portuguese colonial era in South America. Caminha's work stands as a crucial testament to initial encounters and impressions of the New World.
