Description
Macau, a 64 quilómetros a oeste de Hong Kong, tornou-se um local de residência portuguesa entre 1555 e 1557. Neste livro curto, animado e afectuoso, Austin Coates explica como e por que razão os portugueses chegaram ao Extremo Oriente e como se estabeleceram pacificamente em Macau com a tácita boa vontade chinesa. A idade de ouro de Macau, de 1557 ao desastroso colapso de 1641, é vivamente reconstituída. Segue-se a situação de "cuco no ninho" do final do século XVIII, quando os britânicos em Macau eram a lei para si próprios, até que a fundação de Hong Kong e a abertura de Xangai deram maior alcance às suas energias. A luta subsequente de Portugal para obter a soberania plena em Macau e o resultado extraordinário em 1975 encerram este relato. Uma homenagem especial é prestada aos riscos que Macau corajosamente assumiu ao abrigar os famintos e destituídos de Hong Kong durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
