En savoir plus sur le livre

Challenging the conventional narrative of Columbus' discovery of America, Eviatar Zerubavel presents a nuanced view that emphasizes the complexity of discovery beyond mere physical encounters. He argues that Columbus' claims of finding islands near China misrepresent the vast and distinct identity of the New World. The book details a gradual process of awareness that unfolded over nearly three centuries, suggesting that celebrating 1492 as a singular moment distorts historical reality. Enhanced with old maps and a new preface, it appeals to a diverse audience interested in history and culture.
