Description
The life and times of Christopher Columbus recreated in photographs. Describes his four voyages to the New World, his activities there and discusses the sources of information about him. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary. ---------- ###German-language description: 1492 entdeckte ***Christoph Kolumbus*** die Neue Welt - aber er hat nie nordamerikanischen Boden betreten. Welche unbekannten Länder also hatte Kolumbus entdeckt? Warum nannte er die Einwohner Indianer? Und warum kehrte der Mann, dem seine Gönner, der König und die Königin von Spanien, höchste Ehre erwiesen hatten, von seiner dritten Atlantik-Überquerung in Ketten heim? Gegen Ende seines Lebens blickte Kolumbus auf vier Reisen in die Neue Welt zurück. Er hatte Meuterei, Schiffbruch, Aufruhr und Fehlschläge überlebt. Einerseits gab es nun in der Karibik eine europäische Kolonie, hatte Kolumbus’ Kühnheit und Ehrgeiz die Welt verändert. Andererseits führten seine Taten zur Ausrottung der eingeborenen Taino. Das alles geschah vor rund 500 Jahren, doch die »vor Ort« aufgenommenen Szenen und der anregende Text stellen Kolumbus und seine Geschichte so zeitnah dar wie moderner Fotojournalismus. Auf 28 doppelseitigen Farbfotos werden Ereignisse, die die Geschichte geprägt haben, greif- und erlebbar gemacht. Der informative und anregende Text beruht auf gründlich recherchierten Fakten und zeitgenössischem Material.
