Publisher's Synopsis
Shipwrecked off the coast of Portugal on the 13th of August 1476, the 25-year-old, Genoa-born Christopher Columbus find refuge with his younger brother Bartholomew, a map maker in Lisbon, the very centre of exploration endeavours. Where many would find themselves lost, the Columbus brothers find themselves on the verge of discovery. The world has been expanding since the beginning of the 15th century, and so has Christopher Columbus' vision... Bartholomew bears witness to the events leading to the Indies Enterprise, and through his vivid storytelling he invites us to join their pursuit from its very conception. Though far from the dream they once sought, how could their passion for discovery lead to the nightmares and horrors of genocide?
