"Terra Java", 270 pages, Oficina do Livro, October 2008
Synopsis
A honeymoon makes a man unveil his past and the secrets behind in the discovery of Australia.
Manel and Cindy Pereira fulfill their common dream of visiting Australia in their honeymoon. In the promontory of Point Hicks, first place in the island-continent sighted by Captain James Cook in 1770, Manel bumps into a Portuguese surname, his own surname, which, regardless the strong opposition of his wife, will make him embark in a intriguing and simultaneously amazing trip in time.
Encouraged by Ming, his new girlfriend in Melbourne, and by his Portuguese fellows of Sydney, Manel decides to face what he believes being a dishonest historical fabrication that ignores the pioneering arrival of Portuguese nation in this faraway territory.
Based on the most recent historical evidence, Terra Java is not only a original love story, but also helps to understand the role of the Portuguese sailors in the discovery of Australia. A breathtaking fiction, where adventure and magic of the places recall our History and pave the way to the reconciliation with love.
