«1421: El año en que China descubrió el mundo» is the historical essay by Gavin Menzies, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (608 pages, in Spanish).
In 1421 a colossal fleet set sail from China to return to their lands the dignitaries who had sworn loyalty to Emperor Zhu Di. Menzies argues that his admirals reached America and Australia and circumnavigated the globe before Columbus, Cook and Magellan; but on their return in 1423, with the emperor overthrown, those achievements were consigned to oblivion.
Thirteenth edition, published on November 12, 2004, translated from English by Francisco José Ramos Mena, in the Best Seller collection.
For fans of Chinese history, maritime exploration and great historical mysteries.
Rowan Gavin Paton Menzies was a British submarine lieutenant-commander who authored books claiming that the Chinese sailed to America before Columbus. Historians have rejected Menzies' theories and assertions and have categorised his work as pseudohistory.
