The biography of the "founder" of the New World by the renowned historian Filipe Fernández-Armesto, with a new introduction by the author.
This highly readable and controversial account of Christopher Columbus and his voyages argues the Columbus is best understood as a primitive celestial navigator. He didn't even know how to use the instruments he took on board his voyages, which so infuriated his crew that they threatened to pitch him overboard. With maps, drawings and black and white photographs.
First published in Great Britain in 1974. This paperback edition published in 2000 by Phoenix Press, London. Condition: Good.
