Book Review: Portuguese Sailor Boy


Summary

Portuguese Sailor Boy is a collection of poetry by David Appelbaum. The poems are centered around the 1st Countof Vidigueira named Vasco da Gama. He is best known as a Portuguese explorer, and the first European to reach India by sea.


Review

I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. This was such a well-depicted book that relives history in honor of Vasco da Gama through a series of narrative poetry. The poems were very revealing, not only recounting historical events, but also expressing the Portuguese explorer’s sentiments through the author’s profound words. I highly recommend this book to readers who love historical poetry.
