Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book ventures into the depths of the early life of Christopher Columbus, delving into his orgins, inspirations and the driving forces that led to his monumental discovery of America. The author, a leading authority on Columbus and the era of exploration, separates established facts from persistent myths surrounding Columbus and his groundbreaking voyages. By examining primary sources, including Columbus's own writings and accounts from his contemporaries, the book challenges prevailing narratives and sheds new light on the motivations and misconceptions that shaped Columbus's quest for a westward route to Asia. It also explores the broader context of 15th-century European exploration, cartography, and the profound impact of Columbus's 'discovery' on the world.
