In the 1380s and 90s, Nicolo and Antonio Zen journeyed from Venice
up the North Atlantic, encountering warrior princes, fighting
savage natives and, just possibly, reaching the New World a full
century before Columbus. The story of their adventure travelled
throughout Europe, from the workshop of the great cartographer
Mercator to the court of Elizabeth I. For centuries, the brothers
were international celebrities, until, in 1835, the story was
denounced as a 'tissue of lies' and the Zens faded into oblivion.
Following in their footsteps Andrea di Robilant sets out to
discover the truth about the Zen voyages in a journey that takes
him from the crumbling Palazzo Zen in Venice to the Orkney Islands,
the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland. Part history, part travelogue,
Venetian Navigators is a charming tale of great journeys, fine
detective work and faith, against the odds.
