The Great Discoveries were events that changed the lives of all humanity on Earth. For the first time in history, the peoples of the planet, from Europe and Asia to the remotest mountain valleys of Peru and the islands of the Pacific Ocean, learned about each other. During the three centuries of the Age of Discovery, humanity for the first time felt at home on the entire planet Earth.

What was life like for the people of that time? What did they fear? What did they strive for? How were they similar and different from us? How did they fight? What did they sail on? What did they believe? What did they study? What did they eat and wear? Our book is about all this.

We will embark on a sea voyage to India following Columbus, and then on a circumnavigation with Magellan. We will witness how the conquistadors conquered the Inca and Aztec empires, and how Spain and Portugal divided the world between themselves and reaped incredible dividends. Let's go east, to Siberia, together with the Pomors and Cossacks, let's embark on the Great Northern Expedition led by Vitus Bering. We'll make an amazing voyage with Zheng He and bring back a real qilin!

The era of great discoveries has ended, but the discoveries themselves will never end!
