Attali reconstructs 1492 as a pivotal year: Columbus's arrival in America, the fall of the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian peninsula, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and the election of a Borgia as pope, and shows how Europe turns towards the Atlantic and lays the foundations of rationalism, modern democracy and its own historical narrative.

For readers of historical essays interested in the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity and in European Atlantic expansion.
