In 1497, Vasco da Gama was the first to go by sea to India. The 28-year-old Portuguese navigator reached India in almost 100 days, overcoming the fury of the sea element, the riots of the team, illness and all the difficulties of swimming. For iron discipline and especially for ruthlessness to the wolf pack of pirates, his own people, he was nicknamed Frantic. In a new historical context, João Morgado tells the true story of Vasco da Gama, exposing the dark side of his personality. He was far from the sinless hero of his era. To satisfy the ambitions of the king of Portugal and find his fortune, he was ready for the most cruel deeds and dangerous adventures. But despite this, the controversial figure of Vasco da Gama over time became the embodiment of the breed of stubborn conquistadors who opened the era of glory of the Portuguese Great geographical discoveries.
