註釋The author's expert knowledge of the sea is the basis for this look at Columbus's achievements and failings. It is a fascinating read about adventure, discovery, hopes and dreams, and the men who strove to reach beyond the horizon. In this thoughtful reassessment of Columbus and his achievements, McKee looks behind the legend to examine the man whose boldness and ambition sustained over seven long years of rejection at the courts of Europe led him to attempt an enterprise of unparalleled bravery.
