Four and a half centuries ago, Christopher Columbus, in search of a sea route to rich India, went out on three small sailing ships - caravels into the boundless, unknown ocean and on October 12, 1492 reached the shores of America - the islands of the Bahamas archipelago.
Four grandiose journeys across the Atlantic Ocean, the discovery of the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the coast of South and Central America put Columbus on a par with the greatest navigators and discoverers of new lands, fanning his name with unfading glory.
Numerous documents, ancient chronicles, testimonies of contemporaries and historians , letters and diaries of the admiral himself helped the author to describe both the travels of Columbus and the era of great discoveries. The book tells about the early discoverers of America - the Normans, about the Portuguese who paved the sea route to India around the African continent, about the conquerors of America - the conquistadors who followed Columbus, about Amerigo Vespucci and the origin of the name "America". Some idea is also given about the reasons that prompted people to go on such long and dangerous sea voyages, about the historical, revolutionary significance of the great geographical discoveries and their grandiose consequences.
