Columbus and the Age of Discovery

About This Novel

At the end of the fifteenth century, Europe was full of dreams about the gold and spices of the East. Columbus, a navigator from Genoa, knocked on the door of the Spanish palace with the obsession of "sailing westward". This book will take you back to those magnificent four voyages to the west, witness the glory of his "discovery" of the New World, and face the deep shadow of colonial plunder and the "Columbian Exchange" behind them. We will also cast our sights on great masters such as Vasco da Gama and Magellan, jointly sketching out a magnificent picture of the entire Age of Discovery, and ultimately, in the fog of history, explore a real Columbus who is far more complex than a "hero" or a "demon".
