A Carrack Sailed Away: The Voyage Of Master Francis Xavier by Mabel Farnum is a historical fiction book that tells the story of the Portuguese Jesuit missionary, Francis Xavier, and his journey to spread Christianity in Asia during the 16th century. The book is set in 1540 and follows the young and ambitious Francis Xavier as he embarks on a perilous journey from Lisbon to Goa, India, aboard a carrack, a large sailing vessel of the time. The story is told through the eyes of Francis Xavier, who is portrayed as a brave and determined man, driven by his faith and his desire to convert non-Christians to Catholicism. Along the way, he faces numerous challenges, including storms, disease, and hostile encounters with pirates and rival religious groups. As Francis Xavier travels through India, Japan, and China, he encounters a variety of people and cultures, each with their own beliefs and customs. The book explores the clash of cultures that occurred during this time period and the challenges faced by those who sought to spread Christianity in foreign lands. Overall, A Carrack Sailed Away: The Voyage Of Master Francis Xavier is a captivating and insightful book that provides a vivid depiction of the life and times of one of the most influential Christian missionaries in history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the Age of Exploration, or the cultural exchange that occurred between Europe and Asia during the 16th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
