Critics

It's an historic book with few illustrations. It takes us to the passed and it's poetic. It's small but it keeps the reader. The main person is an adventure. ( Teresa 11 pt ; Frederico 11 pt ; Joana 12 pt)

Blurb about the book

No one believed that beyond the "Bojador" cape there were sea creatures and strong fogs. " Gil Eanes" made the promiss that he would go to the cape but would not return until he passed it. The " Infante" waited for Gil Eanes's return, and when he returned he assured that there was no danger in passing the Bojador Cape.
