About this ebook

Nach monatelanger, gefahrenvoller Reise, nach zähem Ringen mit den Elementen und drohender Meuterei landet Christoph Columbus am 12. Oktober 1492 auf der Insel Guanahani. Er war fest davon überzeugt die Ostküste Indiens erreicht zu haben, doch was er in Wirklichkeit entdeckt hatte war die Neue Welt: Amerika. Durch verschiedene Dokumente, allen voran das von Kolumbus selbst verfasste Bordbuch, Augenzeugenberichte und authentische Aufzeichnungen wird die Entdeckung Amerikas in diesem Band lebendig. Nach der Ausgabe Zürich, 1941.

    Very brief, easy to read, great for young readers or the classroom. The pictures are well done and a good conversation point, along with the maps and woodcuts.

    This translation is mainly directed at sailors who would like to follow Columbus's course, and its coverage of the debates over Columbus's first landfall and the course of his first voyage is thorough and interesting. The text of the log, however, is unreliable and tampers with the Spanish sources, although at least the most blatant instances of tampering are usually mentioned in a footnote. The style is perhaps too casual, and the approach to Columbus himself is unabashedly hero-worshiping. I'm finding the appendices to be the best parts of the book. One contains an abridged reprint of Gustavus V. Fox's case for Samana Cay as Columbus's "San Salvador." Robert H. Fuson is an academic geographer with a military background.
