Men without a Heart
No. 56 SEPTEMBER 2021
Following in the footsteps of his fishing family before him in Nazaré, Guilherme Pilo Sales first went cod fishing when he was 17 years old, in 1960. This was followed by seven more adventures as a line fisherman in small dory boats, in the stormy waters of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and Greenland, in what was known as the Faina Maior, the Cod Epic, one of the most forgotten and remarkable episodes in Portuguese maritime history. This book is an autobiographical account of remarkable memories of these times, of these voyages and of the very hard work of cod fishing by line, filled with danger and deprivation. Men without a heart will risk everything in life and they feel the need to push themselves to the limit or even beyond, says the author of this portrait. A moving story of bravery, dedication and love for the sea.
