Negative Positive
Title: glorious writing
Review: Don't be put off by the faux historical critiques of some other reviewers here - this ain't a textbook. This is a book to read by your own fire, as you relax, submerge yourself in its own warm bubbling spa, a veritable Ganges of rhetorical flow. And so enjoy this deep yellow river of Popes, renaissance artists, maps, Kings and voyages, culminating in Magellan's glorious, crazy circumnavigation of the globe, the reason Manchester wrote this in the first place. Manchester sees Magellan much as he saw MacArthur in American Caesar, a gloriously flawed genius. We can see clearly that Manchester loved researching and writing this - share the love, dive in.
