Christopher Columbus: Who Sailed For Asia And Discovered A New World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164482604)

Christopher Columbus: Who Sailed For Asia And Discovered A New World is a biographical book written by Clifford Smyth. The book tells the story of Christopher Columbus, a famous explorer who is credited with discovering the New World. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451 and grew up dreaming of exploring the world. He became a sailor and eventually convinced King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to fund his expedition to find a new trade route to Asia. In 1492, Columbus set sail with three ships ������� the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria ������� and after a long and difficult journey, he landed in what is now the Bahamas. Although Columbus believed he had reached Asia, he had actually discovered a new continent. The book explores Columbus's life, his motivations for exploration, and the impact of his discovery on the world. It also provides insight into the challenges he faced, including navigating treacherous waters, dealing with mutinous crew members, and negotiating with indigenous peoples. The book is a fascinating look at one of the most important figures in world history and his role in shaping the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
