About this title

Synopsis

Despite the world-changing significance of Columbusâ€s transatlantic voyage of 1492, the man himself remains a shadowy figure. Illustrated with modern maps and historic images, this study explores the Genoese navigatorâ€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.
