| Summary | "Christovam Colombo e o descobrimento da America" by J. M. Pereira da Silva is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work revolves around the life and voyages of Christopher Columbus, specifically detailing his discovery of the Americas and the broader historical context of his explorations. The book examines not only Columbus's adventures but also the socio-political and economic aspects of Europe during the 15th century that contributed to the age of exploration. The opening of the text establishes the framework for a series of public conferences that Pereira da Silva delivered in Rio de Janeiro, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s discovery. In the first conference, the author pays homage to notable historical figures and sets the scene by discussing the political and social climate of 15th-century Europe, particularly focusing on Portugal's pioneering role in sea exploration. He emphasizes the ambitions and challenges faced by Columbus as he sought the support of the Portuguese crown for his revolutionary idea of sailing westward to reach the East Indies. This initial discourse creates a compelling backdrop for the detailed exploration of Columbus's journey and his momentous encounter with the Americas that would alter the course of history.
