The story of the exploration and development of the vast expanses of the world's oceans is a story of courage, enterprise and perseverance. At the center of a large-scale plot by the popular French writer Georges Blon is Man and Sea in their diverse, complex, almost mystical relationship. All great seafarers were in a sense prisoners of the sea, which has forever conquered their hearts: no matter how terrible deprivation would turn into a sea voyage, they every time again rushed towards the formidable element, towards new dangers and discoveries. Columbus, Magellan, Heyerdahl - all of them, starting with the ancient Vikings or Phoenicians, were obsessed with the sea, the dream of new sea routes and unknown lands. On the great conquerors of the great oceans and tells the sea epic Georges Blon. In the new edition in Russian books from the series "Great Mysteries of the Oceans" ("The Great Hour of the Oceans") are illustrated with reproductions of paintings, engravings, maps, photographs - historical images, in one way or another related to the fascinating stories of Georges Blon. In addition, the books are provided with extensive reference material, including maps, dictionaries of names, nautical terms, and names of ships and aircraft. The first book includes stories about two of the three greatest oceans of the globe, the Atlantic and the Indian, the history of the exploration of each of which is unique, but at the same time the stories often flow from one to the other, as do the waters of the great oceans themselves.
