How, from 1500, did the tiny Atlantic-facing kingdom of Portugal become a mighty, global empire? How did its crown colony, Brazil become a kingdom and an empire in its own right? How did an Austrian princess-turned Portuguese queen help steer Brazil’s independence from Portugal? These questions and more drive this action-packed, and character-filled adventure through Portuguese and early Brazilian history. We will draw directly from historical sources including correspondence, travel writing, letters, poetry, and art.
