When Portuguese sailor Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain in 1519, he believed he could get to the Spice Islands by sailing west through or around the New World. He was right, but what he didn't know was that the treacherous voyage would take him three years and cost him his life. Black-and-white line drawings illustrate Magellan's life and voyage, with sidebars and a time line that enhance readers' understanding of the period.
Spanish Description:
En 1519 el marinero portugues Fernando de Magallanes zarpo de Espana convencido que llegaria a la India si navegaba rumbo al oeste hasta atravesar, o rodear, el Nuevo Mundo. Tenia toda la razon, pero nunca imagino que el peligroso viaje le tomaria tres anos y terminaria por cobrar su vida. Complementando la obra, una cronologia y dibujos en blanco y negro ilustrando la vida y el viaje de Magallanes ayudan a un mejor entendimiento de la epoca.
