Gold, Spices and Colonies

About This Novel

One book tells the story of Magellan's greatness and madness, peak and destruction, as well as the background of his global voyage where hegemony and money are intertwined. In 1519, Magellan led five sailing ships and more than 200 people to set sail from Spain in search of a sea route to the Spice Islands. Along the way, they suffered from hunger, disease, mental and physical torture, and even faced the threat of death. Finally, they discovered a sea passage now known as the Strait of Megellan. This was an arduous journey that lasted three years. Award-winning best-selling author (biographer and journalist) Lawrence Berglin used first-hand information to objectively restore this human feat and vividly tell a grand adventure story. In the book, Bergerin takes readers on a fascinating journey through first-person narration, some of which is revealed here for the first time. This expedition not only changed the way that later explorers sailed, but also changed history itself.
