Me traslado, viajo una y otra vez viviendo nuestra historia

Este "detalle histórico" me permitió entender el valiosísimo aporte de muchos de nuestros antepasados (hombres como nosotros)quienes nos dejaron un legado inmenso e impagable. Cada relato es tan fascinante como la realidad a la que invoca Zweig cuando nos lleva con el lenguaje tan bello y profundo que lo caracteriza a los conflictos de un navegante especial. Un trabajo minucioso digno de ser leido. Fue un viaje de retorno a aquellos días donde la humanidad descubría contra viento y marea el mundo en el que nacimos.

Remarkable, and inspiring.

The untold story of the first man to circle the globe... contrary to common belief it was not Magellan. He died during the trip. It was a slave known only as Enrique.All the other people aboard the ship were far away from returning to their birthplaces in Spain or Portugal. But Enrique, a slave taken by force to Europe by the old route used by traders before the new world was discovered, returned to his island by the opposite direction... fascinating.

Breathtaking story of a real-world discovery

Discovery, human conflicts, deep psychology, all interpreted with meticulous accuracy and breathtaking storytelling. An evergreen, a real mental stuff to read and best entertainment.
