Christopher Columbus

A Captivating Guide to the Life of an Italian Explorer and His Voyages to the Americas

If you want to discover the captivating life of Christopher Columbus, then pay attention....

Christopher Columbus was one of the most courageous of the world’s explorers. He embraced risk in an era when the blinding expanse of the Atlantic Ocean frightened the Europeans.

The cartography of the day was incorrect, as he learned through bitter experience. Columbus is credited with the discovery of America but never realized it during his lifetime. His career as a navigator was peppered with mishaps that shattered the ignorance of the age. Although he was no scientist, Columbus initiated new fields of study and analysis.

In 1492, he landed at San Salvador in the Islands of the Bahamas, and he was the first European to have explored the Caribbean Sea. He was the first European to set foot in Cuba, Haiti, and Trinidad, as well as the countries in Central America. Columbus’s voyages astonished all of Europe and started a virtual stampede of competitors in search of the East Indies by sailing west.

His life was fraught with adversities such as betrayal and character assassination. It still is today. However, his loyalty cannot be assailed, and few have recognized that fact.

The life of Christopher Columbus is a fascinating portrayal of a man whose ego was greater than his common sense. His brand of reckless abandon makes Olympic champions out of foolhardy amateurs. This is the story of a man devoted to a goal he was willing to pursue or die trying. And, tragically, he did die trying.

In this audiobook, you will discover topics such as:

• Into the blue unknown
• Dead reckoning forward
• Initial exploration
• Second voyage
• Third voyage: Chaos reigns.
• The last voyage
• And much, much more!

Christopher Columbus Denied

I listen to this book because I've wanted to know exactly why our Modern Age what's so against Christopher Columbus. he was a man who was Reverend in the 18 and 19 hundreds. my own great-grandfather and many of yours was named after this man. yes he did do many wrong things. But they were not things that was not done in the world at that time. always when someone conquered a civilization the people would be captured and used to slaves. it would be much as our armies and forces taking prisoners. I think to deny him the respect of what he did accomplish is very sad. then also not to realize where our nation came from and how we have changed degrades our ancestors. we must look to what have what has happened in our past to make our future better. I think that this audiobook was very informative and gave direct information as to most of what went on during Columbus's time. I really enjoyed listening
