Description

.First published in 1917, A Short History of Discovery brings to life the men and women who dared to sail beyond the edge of the known. Hendrik Willem van Loon guides readers from the daring Greek seafarers and Roman conquerors to the Vikings, Marco Polo, Prince Henry, Columbus, and Magellan. With wit, clarity, and imagination, he shows not only what they discovered, but why they risked their lives: curiosity, courage, and a longing for more. This vivid retelling makes history an adventure, reminding us that discovery is always born of perseverance and vision.
