Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the profound maritime influence on Portuguese national identity, a unique historical development significant to Portugalâs unique culture, global explorations, and colonial history. The author posits that due to Portugalâs exquisite geographical positioning, its people developed a distinct relationship with the sea, sky, and land, leading to the nationâs seafaring prowess. The author argues that the inherent qualities of the Portuguese landscape, from its smell to its horizons, inspired the Portuguese spirit of discovery and conquest. Furthermore, the author contends that the Portuguese national character was shaped by the arduous realities of their maritime endeavors and the sights, sounds, and experiences of the Indian Ocean. An analysis of Portugalâs colonial history leads to the conclusion that Portuguese mariners, merchants, and colonists were not just driven by profit or power but by a deep yearning for the mysteries of the ocean and the fulfillment of a divinely ordained mission. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
