Title: Magellificent!
Product review: Over 200 men and five ships set out to circumnavigate the globe. Magellan hires a chronicler, Pigafetta, to document the entire trip. Amazingly, Pigafetta is one of only 18 men to survive the entire journey. So we have a complete record of the trip, each day dutifully recorded. Bergreen expands greatly on this, providing political context for the funding and preparations of the trip and adds many historical and geographical details along the way. "Over the Edge of the World" is a fascinating account of this adventure from five centuries ago. Riveting!
