About the Book

This book includes the truth about the prodigious admiral who spearheaded the Discovery of the Americas in this revealing and thorough story. It starts with his origins and mysterious youth, examines his petitions to the Catholic monarchy, and chronicles his travels and ambitious adventure in the New World, which helped him accumulate wealth and power. In this story, Columbus's own personality and history are given priority over the controversies revolving around his origin or the location of his remains. Readers will learn about his beginnings in sailing, how he gained the financial support of the Catholic monarchs for his journey, and how his children managed what they inherited from their father: the governance of the West Indies for his son Diego, and for his son Hernando, the cultural heritage in the form of the personal library of 15,000 books and the official recognition of the Spanish Emperor Charles I, who employed him as a cosmographer for several important projects.Toda la verdad sobre el navegante que realizÃ3 la gran hazaña del descubrimiento de AmÃ(c)rica. Una crÃ3nica reveladora y rigurosa: desde su origen y misteriosa juventud, las Capitulaciones de Santa Fe con los Reyes CatÃ3licos hasta sus viajes y la ambiciosa aventura en el Nuevo Mundo que le permitiÃ3 acumular poder y riquezas. La guerra de los Cien Años, el primer cisma de la Iglesia catÃ3lica, las luchas intestinas por la sucesiÃ3n de los reinos hispànicos, el invento de la imprenta, la escuela de Sagres... Una serie de acontecimientos histÃ3ricos se concentraron en el siglo XV y configuraron un nuevo reparto de poder en Occidente y la necesidad de buscar nuevas rutas para traer las riquezas de Asia. En ese contexto, Portugal opta por la navegaciÃ3n de cabotaje en la costa africana y un marino genovÃ(c)s propone a los Reyes CatÃ3licos una ruta alternativa a travÃ(c)s del ocÃ(c)ano. La propia personalidad de ColÃ3n pesa màs en esta historia que las polÃ(c)micas sobre su origen o el destino de sus restos. Sus inicios en la navegaciÃ3n, cÃ3mo logrÃ3 el patrocinio de los reyes a su proyecto, cuàles fueron sus rasgos màs destacados y cÃ3mo gestionaron sus hijos la herencia que les quedÃ3 Diego, el gobierno de las Indias, para el que no mostrÃ3 mejor capacidad que su padre; Hernando, la cultura, con una biblioteca de màs de quince mil ejemplares y el reconocimiento del primer emperador español, Carlos I, que le confiÃ3 importantes proyectos como cosmÃ3grafo
