In this par- ticular portrayal, three facets of his character define him- first as a man, with defects as well as virtues. Born of a humble family, he shapes it into something new, endowing it with a higher social status of his own choosing. We will get to know those who, throughout his life, were both his friends and enemies. We will appreciate his difficult character and will gain per- spective from a portrait of his daily life, including descriptions of the food he enjoyed, how he dressed, what he read, and aspects of his household. We will recognize his struggle for survival, his triumph over many physical ailments, and his demands for the maintenance of his titles - with inherent income - in favor of his firstborn son. Once we've encountered Columbus in his natural environment, we will then see him develop into the mariner. Columbus did not receive any higher educa-. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM456-VG-10267
