Summary: "O descobrimento do Brasil por Pedro Alvares Cabral" by Baldaque da Silva is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book critically examines the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500. It discusses navigational decisions and explores the broader implications of this momentous event in history. The text delves into Cabral's expedition, originally aimed at reaching India, but which serendipitously led to the discovery of Brazil. Baldaque da Silva presents various hypotheses regarding how the deviation to the west occurred during the voyage, arguing against the notions of navigational error or unforeseen storms. The author ultimately supports the idea that Cabral intentionally ventured westward, backed by navigational strategies from preceding voyages and instructions from the Portuguese crown to explore the southwestern seas for potential new lands. The narrative blends both historical documentation and insightful commentary, offering readers a detailed understanding of this pivotal moment in maritime history.
