Batalha das Velas

A Rota dos Espiões

by Manu & Deepak

Description

This book is the first volume in a series of comic books about the spice trade and the spirit of navigation with all its vivid humor. The dominance of the Arabs in the spice trade and the envy of the Portuguese and Spaniards define the script and plot of the story, covering the maritime trade from 1440 to 1500. The story is inspired by the adventures and navigation techniques of Ahmed bin Majid, the great Arab navigator. Medieval history, mythology and archetypes are adapted to the modern world to facilitate the narration of the story and generate interest. He uses anachronisms and discourses of contemporary media to create comedy. In this volume, Prince Henry hires Chung Chung, the Chinese traveler to steal Majid's map, but Majid's cunning prevails. Majid also gives a lesson to the 41 pirates and their captain, Black Fin.
