The history of exploration and development of the vast expanses of the World Ocean is a history of courage, enterprise and perseverance. The popular French writer Georges Blond focuses on Man and the Sea in their varied, complex, almost mystical relationships. All the great navigators were, in a certain sense, prisoners of the sea, which forever conquered their hearts: no matter how terrible hardships the sea voyage turned into, they each time again rushed towards the formidable elements, towards new dangers and discoveries. Columbus, Magellan, Heyerdahl - all of them, like the ancient Vikings or Phoenicians before them, were obsessed with the sea, the dream of new sea routes and unknown lands. The sea epic of Georges Blon tells about the great conquerors of the oceans. This edition includes fascinating stories about the history of human exploration of the Mediterranean and polar seas, as well as from the history of piracy. The book is illustrated with reproductions of paintings, engravings, maps, photographs - historical images, one way or another connected with the exciting plots of Georges Blon, and is also provided with extensive reference material, including maps, dictionaries of names, marine terms and names of ships and aircraft.
