Krátky popis
'A dazzling tale, brilliantly told' Peter Frankopan'A wonderful
book' Sunday Telegraph, 5*'Triumphant' Literary ReviewDURING THE
AGE OF DISCOVERY, in the autumn of 1550, an anonymously authored
volume containing a wealth of geographical information new to
Europeans was published in Venice under the title Navigationi et
Viaggi (Journeys and Navigations). This was closely followed by two
further volumes that, when taken together, constituted the largest
release of geographical data in history, and could well be
considered the birth of modern geography. The editor of these
volumes was a little-known public servant in the Venetian
government, Giovambattista Ramusio.He gathered a vast array of both
popular and closely guarded narratives, from the journals of Marco
Polo to detailed reports from the Muslim scholar and diplomat Leo
Africanus. In an enthralling narrative, Andrea di Robilant brings
to life the man who used all his political skill, along with the
help of conniving diplomats and spies, to democratise knowledge and
show how the world was much larger than anyone previously imagined.
