Magellan
The First Circumnavigation of the Earth
More than five hundred years ago Portuguese
explorer Magellan took with him five ships to explore
hitherto unknown waters in search of a new
sea route to the Moluccas.
These islands in the Pacific have always been steeped in
legend and offered the prospect of endless riches due to the
profusion of native spices. The adventures of Magellan and
his companions embraced storms, hunger, mutiny and deadly
conflicts with the local population, and these are brought
vividly to life by historian Christian Jostmann in this new
publication.
‘Christian Jostmann has made an intensive study of his
sources and transformed them into a detailed and colourful
account of the journey and its background.’
