About
"O Descobrimento do Brazil" by Manuel Ferreira Garcia Redondo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the Portuguese claims to being the first discoverers of Brazil and the Americas, challenging the prevailing narrative that Christopher Columbus was the primary discoverer of these lands. The book aims to provide evidence and arguments supporting the perspective that Portuguese navigators had reached the Americas long before Columbus. The opening of the text introduces a lecture that Garcia Redondo delivered before a distinguished audience at the Instituto Historico e Geographico de São Paulo in 1911. He reflects on his previous travels and how he was inspired to explore the history of discoveries made by the Portuguese. He references another author, Faustino da Fonseca, whose work asserts that Columbus and Pedro Alvares Cabral were not the first to discover these new lands, but were merely publicizing discoveries made by earlier Portuguese explo
