With a wealth of information on the life of Christopher Columbus,
including hundreds of photographs and illustrations, this is a
definitive and thorough biography of the venerated and occasionally
controversial explorer. The book focuses on every stage of
Columbus's life: his childhood in Genoa; the years he spent in
Lisbon; his quest to find a benefactor and the subsequent four
voyages to the New World; the allegations of corruption during his
governorship of the island of Hispaniola and his ignominious
arrest; and his final years and death. At each stage, his
accomplishments and actions are placed within the larger
sociopolitical and cultural context of the time period in which he
lived; considerable attention is paid to the Catholic Kings and
other rulers of the time, as well as on voyages undertaken by other
explorers, including Vasco da Gama, Pedro Alvares Cabral, and John
Cabot. A final section examines Columbus's legacy, with a specific
emphasis on what his voyages implied for the denizens of the New
World.
