NOTES
Read by Tim Jerome
In 1519 Captain General Ferdinand Magellan and his fleet set sale on an epic journey that would irrevocably alter the path of history. Now, for the first time, award-winning biographer and journalist Laurence Bergreen masterfully interweaves previously unavailable first-person accounts that bring to vivid life Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe. In rich, absorbing prose Bergreen captivatingly details the mutinies, discoveries, deaths, and political betrayals throughout a voyage that proves as spellbinding and shocking today as it did in the sixteenth century
