Description

large 8vo, Yellow cloth with red lettering in dust jacketxlvi,663,(32)p 50 Maps and Illustrations. Edited and translated from the Portuguese by Rebecca D. Catz. This text, ostensibly the autobiography of Portugese explorer Fern„o Mendes Pinto, came second only to Marco Polo's work in exciting Europe's imagination of the Orient. Chronicling adventures from Ethiopia to Japan, Travels covers twenty years of Mendes Pinto's odyssey as a soldier, a merchant, a diplomat, a slave, a pirate, and a missionary, and continues to overwhelm questions about its source with the sheer enjoyment of its narrative. heavy, please international customers inquire on extra shipping.
