Until 1,000 years ago, humans had no experience of exploring the Atlantic Ocean, or even the thought of crossing the ocean. But after the first brave sailors sailed from the east to the far west coast of the ocean-whether they were Vikings, Irish, Basques, John Cabot, Columbus, or other Portuguese and Spanish-the Atlantic gradually woke up along with the world. This large body of water separates the Americas to the west and Europe and Africa to the east. The Atlantic Ocean is the legend of this vast space that plans and determines the fate and shape of millions of creatures thousands of miles apart on either side of the ocean. The Atlantic Ocean has always been the center of the passionate ambitions and dreams of explorers, scientists and warriors, and it still affects people's personalities, attitudes and dreams today. From kings to poets, from adventurers to sailors, from fishermen to pirates, from merchants to travelers - all are related to this vast blue ocean. Affected by many factors, the Atlantic Ocean is both enemy and friend in people's eyes, with both awe and fear. Driven by his romantic imagination about this ocean, Simon Winchester began his journey around the world. Through years of detailed textual research, on-the-spot exploration, and in-depth research, he finally wrote this grand biography of the Atlantic. From the beginning of Hongmeng to modern society, he narrates the story of the Atlantic. The epic narrative is amazing.
