Christopher Columbus' name is forever etched in the history of great voyages and discoveries: he was the first to sail across the Atlantic to American shores, thanks to his perseverance and determination. A national holiday is dedicated to him, many movies have been made about him, the country of Columbia, cities, a crater, and an asteroid have been named in his honor. However, his identity is still a mystery. Debunking myths and legends, British historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto has created the most complete biography of Columbus to date - a self-taught man, desperate to win favor at court, an adventurer, a dreamer. Written with the precision of a documentary chronicle, this book reads like a thrilling adventure novel.
