Summary "Vasco da Gama" by David Corazzi is a biography written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and adventures of the famous Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama, exploring his significant role in maritime exploration and the establishment of sea routes to India. It serves as both an educational resource for families and schools, highlighting historical events and figures. The biography chronicles Vasco da Gama's early life, his selection by King Manuel I for a seemingly arduous expedition to India, and the subsequent challenges he faced during his journey, including treacherous waters, crew insubordination, and encounters with indigenous peoples. The narrative details Gama's eventual arrival in India, his diplomatic missions, and the conflicts that arose with local rulers, particularly in Calecut. Ultimately, it reveals Gama's achievements in establishing Portuguese trade in the East and his lasting legacy, contrasting his brave endeavors with the brutalities that accompanied colonial expansion.
