-Titulo Original : The Last Voyage Of Columbus Being The Epic Tale Of The Great Captains Fourth Expedition, Including Accounts Of Mutiny, Shipwreck, And Discovery
-Fabricante :
Back Bay Books
-Descripcion Original:
Review A rich, fluent account both a gripping naval adventure and a revealing history. -- New York Times Book ReviewA swashbuckling history. -- Philadelphia InquirerAstonishing adventure stories are interwoven with personalized accounts of dazzling characters, the first of whom is Columbus himself. -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Year is 1500. Christopher Columbus, stripped of his title Admiral of the Ocean Seas, waits in chains in a Caribbean prison built under his orders, looking out at the colony that he founded, nurtured, and ruled for eight years. Less than a decade after discovering the New World, he has fallen into disgrace, accused by the royal court of being a liar, a secret Jew, and a foreigner who sought to steal the riches of the New World for himself. The tall, freckled explorer with the aquiline nose, whose flaming red hair long ago turned gray, passes his days in prayer and rumination, trying to ignore the waterfront gallows that are all too visible from his cell. And he plots for one great escape, one last voyage to the ends of the earth, one final chance to prove himself. What follows is one of historys most epic -- and forgotten -- adventures. Columbus himself would later claim that his fourth voyage was his greatest. It was without doubt his most treacherous. Of the four ships he led into the unknown, none returned. Columbus would face the worst storms a European explorer had ever encountered. He would battle to survive amid mutiny, war, and a shipwreck that left him stranded on a desert isle for almost a year. On his tail were his enemies, sent from Europe to track him down. In front of him: the unknown. Martin Dugards thrilling account of this final voyage brings Columbus to life as never before-adventurer, businessman, father, lover, tyrant, and hero. About the Author Martin Dugard is the New York Times bestselling author of such nonfiction titles as Chasing Lance, The Last Voyage of Columbus, Farther Than Any Man, Knockdown, and Into Africa. He has written for Esquire, Outside, Sports Illustrated, and GQ. Dugard lives in Orange County, California, with his wife and three sons. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. The Last Voyage of ColumbusBeing the Epic Tale of the Great Captains Fourth Expedition, Including Accounts of Mutiny, Shipwreck, and DiscoveryBy Martin DugardBack Bay BooksCopyright © 2005 Martin DugardAll right reserved.ISBN: 9780316154567Chapter OneTHE VOYAGE THE WHOLE WORLD REMEMBERS1492 The New World Columbuss problems began, ironically, with his greatest success. It was summer when Columbus first sallied forth across the ocean blue-or ocean dark, as Spains more timid sailors called that vast unknown beyond the Pillars of Hercules. He was a forty-one-year-old Italian vagabond who had seduced the most powerful woman in Europe into paying for his outrageous journey. Spains hierarchy-obsessed nobility considered him a nothing, a no-account foreigner. Somewhere, Columbus had promised, not so far over the western horizon, lay the wealth to finance Spains wars of unification and conquest. The voyage could end either in death and disgrace or in a most sublime glory. Columbus was a cheerful, confident man, prone to the occasional boast. Those traits belied a deep intensity: Columbuss focus was so great while sailing or praying that he was oblivious to events going on around him. Yes, the world was round-of that he had no doubt. But often his world was nothing more than himself. He was sure he would succeed. Commanding a fleet of three small caravels-the Niqa, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria-he departed Spain a half hour before sunrise on August 3, 1492. Just three days out, the Pintas rudder floated loose, the result of sabotage by her fearful owner, who it turned out had been cowed into supporting the journey. The little Niqa, spry and lithe but designed for coastal sailing, was coltish on the high seas.
