Desenrascanço in the Discoveries Era – III parte
E façam o favor de desenrascar o melhor possivel, o fim-de-semana!!!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was very common for other exploring nations to bring a Portuguese national along during the voyages, for two reasons, 1) the Portuguese were skilled by previous knowledge 2) and, alegedly, for handling emergencies well (what is also known among the Portuguese as "desenrascanço"). Of course, serious historians would disagree with the association between a 20th century idea and 17th century events.
Some groups from Portugal believe that they still have this characteristic, that, theoricaly speaking, make them the best people to handle emergencies, and the worst for situations where planning is needed. There's no impartial verification of those claims.....

Nem sequer sei como vim. Por aí, errando, tal como os da caravela quinhentista, que devem esperar que chegue Sebastião, numa amanhã de nevoeiro.
Não entendo sequer como ainda não voltou, se vivemos num país cinzento..

Obrigada pela visita, Letras ao Acaso, ou devo chamar-lhe "Zé"?. Devo dizer-lhe que, também eu, navegando nestes mares de escritas, descobri o seu blog. Nunca deixei nenhum comentário, tão pequenina me sinto, ao pé da sua escrita. As suas palavras, brotam como se de uma nascente se tratasse, belas, cristalinas, com cheiro de rosmaninho. Rendi-me a esse odor inebriante. Fiquei completamente viciada. É a minha melhor droga.
