About This Book

Ensaio histórico que analisa as grandes navegações e a relação entre as explorações ibéricas e os feitos atribuídos a Colombo. Examina problemas geográficos e concepções antigas sobre a navegabilidade do Atlântico, defendendo que descobertas decisivas resultaram de audácia, método e de sucessivos avanços técnicos. Contesta rivalidades de precedência, sublinha a dependência de cada empreendimento em predecessores modestos e em mudanças culturais, e descreve como essas viagens transformaram a compreensão europeia do mundo.
