"Ferdinand Magellan, Circumnavigator" traces the extraordinary career of the young Portuguese navigator who circled the globe for Spain in 1519. In his absorbing account of what was perhaps the most dramatic and exciting voyage in history, Mr. Parr captures the vivid tapestry of the age of exploration. It was an age when adventure and intrigue -- political and amorous -- characterized the life of the European empire builders. -- From publisher's description.
