About this audiobook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano had been sent to Japan to spread Christianity. He had brought along a large amount of guns and Catholic artifacts, which he believed would save millions of souls. #2 The voyage was not all bad for Yasuke. He had gotten on well with the sailors and would miss their company. He had also eaten better than most aboard. #3 The Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano was sent to Japan in the late 1500s. He arrived in Nagasaki, a deep anchorage in a Jesuit-friendly province, and from there, he and Rome hoped the rest of Japan awaited. #4 The Jesuit mission to Japan was a political maneuver to punish a Japanese lord for not being accommodating enough to their mission. They switched ports, and the ship arrived in Kuchinotsu the next day. Yasuke was a well-traveled man who had experience with many cultures.
