VOLUME ONE: SAILING

An Introduction to the Atlantic World

“The waves crashed one by one︱I was alone with the sand and the spray︱Of the sea that sang only for me.”

“As ondas quebravam uma a uma︱Eu estava só com a areia e com a espuma︱Do mar que cantava só para mim.”

- Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, 1919-2004
