La vuelta al mundo de Magallanes

Synopsis of La vuelta al mundo de Magallanes

This book tells the fascinating story of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator who in 1519 embarked on an uncertain journey in search of a shorter route to the Spice Islands. The expedition, under the protection of Charles I of Spain and concluded by Elcano, became a great epic by circumnavigating the world for the first time, discovering new lands and peoples, and revealing the true extent of the globe. The volume features full-color illustrations that recreate this great feat in the history of mankind.
