Über diesen Titel
This was in the day of exploration and expansion and a young Lisbon nobleman decides to find fame and fortune by finding these islands and becoming their ruler. The problem is that he is engaged to the lovely Serifina and her tyrannical father names him "The Lord of the Clouds." Nevertheless, with his lovers assent, he sets off in quest of the mysterious islands. For the rest of the story, think of Rip Van Winkle...with a Portuguese twist.
