Title La Granda Admiralo: Unua vojaĝo ĉirkaŭ la mondo
Credits Produced by Andrew Sly and Miroslav Malovec
Summary "La Granda Admiralo: Unua vojaĝo ĉirkaŭ la mondo" by František Omelka is a historical novel written in the late 20th century. The story unfolds in the year 1494, focusing on the life of Fernao Magalhaes (Ferdinand Magellan), as he prepares for his journey from the quiet village of Sabroso to the royal court in Lisbon and beyond. The novel explores themes of adventure, ambition, and the contrasting lives of nobility and commoners in the context of exploration during the Age of Discovery. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Fernao and his family as they receive news about his chance to travel to Lisbon and begin his education at a prestigious school. While his mother is thrilled for the opportunities this journey presents, Fernao initially expresses resistance, preferring the comforts of home to the unknowns of city life and the ocean. The family dynamics are explored through the interactions between Fernao, his mother, and his sisters, as feelings of excitement and apprehension blend together. As the chapters progress, we see Fernao gradually confront his fears and embrace the adventure before him, setting the stage for his eventual role as a significant figure in maritime history.
