THE FOUR VOYAGES OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

By Christopher Columbus

Synopsis

No gamble in history has been more momentous than the landfall of Columbus's ship the Santa Maria in the Americas in 1492 - an event that paved the way for the conquest of a 'New World'. The accounts collected here provide a vivid narrative of his voyages throughout the Caribbean and finally to the mainland of Central America, although he still believed he had reached Asia. Edited and translated by J M Cohen.
