The Worlds of Christopher Columbus - Paperback
by William D. Phillips (Author), Jr. Phillips (Author), Carla Rahn Phillips (With)
When Columbus was born in the mid-fifteenth century, Europe was isolated in many ways from the rest of the Old World and Europeans did not even know that the world of the Western Hemisphere existed. The voyages of Christopher Columbus opened a period of European exploration and empire building that breached the boundaries of those isolated worlds and changed the course of human history. This book describes the life and times of Christopher Columbus. The story is not just of one man's rise and fall. Seen in its broader context, his life becomes a prism reflecting the broad range of human experience for the past five hundred years.
This book tells the story of the life and times of Christopher Columbus on the 500th anniversary of his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. More than that, it; aces Columbus in a very broad context of European and world history.
