When Pedro #xEC;lvares Cabral sailed west of the doldrums on his way to India, he discovered Brazil. The year was 1500. Travelling with him on his flagship was one Pero Vaz de Caminha, a Portuguese civil servant on his way to run a business in Calcutta. His famous letter to the King of Portugal, describing in great detail their brief stay on the Brazilian coastline, was the first report sent back to Europe from the Lusitanian New World. It is thus the living testimony of a remarkable moment in a truly remarkable age ... the Age of Discovery.
