He travelled all over Asia. This is a translation of his autobiography. Pinto left Portugual as a common soldier in 1537 after experiences in Abyssinia, India, passed on to Malacca and the Far East. His intention was to succeed as a merchant. He was drawn to pirates, thrown into prison by the Chinese, then follows his discovery of Japan where he was the first to introduce fire-arms. He became rich & met the famous St. Francis Xavier and is dazzled by his personality. Pinto devotes his wealth to the conversion of Japan he joins the newly formed Jesuit Society. Fascinating reading. .
