Christopher Columbus and the European Discovery of America

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Despite the world-changing significance of Columbus’s transatlantic voyage of 1492, the man himself remains a shadowy figure. Illustrated with modern maps and historic images, this study explores the Genoese navigator’s background, personal life, beliefs and motivation, before following the course of his four voyages and assessing their lasting impact on the peoples of both Europe and the Americas.
