A Times History Book of the Year 2022 A TLS Book of the Year 2022
'Exhilarating and whip-smart' THE SUNDAY TIMES From award-winning
writer Edward Wilson-Lee, this is a thrilling true historical
detective story set in sixteenth-century Portugal. A History of
Water follows the interconnected lives of two men across the
Renaissance globe. One of them - an aficionado of mermen and
Ethiopian culture, an art collector, historian and expert on
water-music - returns home from witnessing the birth of the modern
age to die in a mysterious incident, apparently the victim of a
grisly and curious murder.The other - a ruffian, vagabond and
braggart, chased across the globe from Mozambique to Japan - ends
up as the national poet of Portugal. The stories of Damiao de Gois
and Luis de Camoes capture the extraordinary wonders that awaited
Europeans on their arrival in India and China, the challenges these
marvels presented to longstanding beliefs, and the vast conspiracy
to silence the questions these posed about the nature of history
and of human life. Like all good mysteries, everyone has their own
version of events.
