Beschreibung

Christopher Columbus, the Genoese navigator once considered a hero, is now blamed for bringing plunder and genocide to the Americas. In <i>The Nine Lives of Christopher Columbus</i>, Matthew Restall takes us beyond polemic, sifting through the evidence across nations, languages and five centuries to explore the central questions of Columbiana. He demonstrates that we know a great deal about Columbus's life and that Columbus was not as remarkable as many have assumed-or as he himself believed. But his afterlives are another story: Restall narrates the international contest over Columbus's bones and the dozens of claims on his birthplace, examines how he became a hero and more. The result is a kaleidoscopic account of a single man that becomes a new history of the modern world.
