This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Ferdinand Magellan and the First Circumnavigation of the Globe: 1480-1521 IT is a curious circumstance that, while the world is year by year presented with biographies of persons who cannot lay claim to a tithe of the renown so justly accorded to Magellan, no life of the great circumnavi gator has yet been written in English, or indeed - ii we make one exception - in any other language. The exception is Shr. Diego de Barros Arana's Vida y Wages do Hernando de Magallanes, which in 1881 was translated into Portuguese by Sur. F. De Magalhaes villas-boas, with the addition of an original appendix. This work, although accurate, does not aim at detail, and Magellan's early life in India under Almeida and Albuquerque is dismissed in five pages. Students de sirons of a further knowledge are forced to gather it as best they can from the pages of N avarrete, or to tread the thorny paths of the old chronicles and the docu ments of the Torre do Tombo and Simancas.

Download or read book Ferdinand Magellan Classic Reprint written by Edward Frederic Benson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ferdinand Magellan But an idea occurred to Magellan, and since, on his return from India, King Manuel of Portugal had no further use for his services, even as his predecessor, King John II, had no use for a certain Italian called Columbus, Magellan, like Columbus, took himself and his idea to Spain. And this idea was so prodigious, and the accomplishment of it so unparalleled in the history of exploration, that by virtue of it his deeds and his days generally seemed worth a little ferreting out and a trifle of study, in order to see whether this man, who is known to most people as a name, Spanish or Portuguese, rather than a human being, after whom, vaguely, an obsolete strait in the most remote part of South America was called, could not be shaped into a living personality. History, as a mere series of events, as a collected chronicle, is as dead as the bones in the vision-valley of Ezekiel (and, behold, they were very dry unless it is animated by some human interest attaching to those who made it. But if it can be breathed upon by the spirit of the living folk who caused these things to happen so, it becomes winged with the romance that belongs to the great deeds of men. Magellan's feat, in itself, was a supreme achievement he was the first person in the world who demonstrated not by theory, but in terms of ships actually sailing on the sea, that this world is round (or thereabouts), and that by sailing out beyond the known ultimate of the West, a voyager will arrive at the known ultimate of the East. To us that is a commonplace, but it must be remembered that when Magellan was born no ship of the two great maritime Powers, Spain and Portugal, had ever sailed beyond the Atlantic. The Atlantic washed the shores of the known world, and not yet had Columbus found its further coast, nor had Bartholomew Diaz rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and though it was certain that there were lands and seas to the East of Africa, and islands fragrant with the spices brought to Europe by Moorish traders, no European eye had ever beheld them. For hundreds of years no substantial additions had been made to men's knowledge of the surface of the world it was indeed probably larger in the days of Alexander the Great than in a.d. 1480. Then suddenly, in the space of thirty-five years, the world was unrolled like some wondrous manuscript, and (out of the three explorers who spread it out) the last and longest section, stretching from the coasts of Brazil westwards to the Spice Islands of the East, was smoothed straight and pinned down by Magellan. Not for sixty years, so sown with peril and difficulty was the route, did any ship pass through his Strait again and traverse the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Columbus and Magellan The discovery of America by Columbus and the passage of Magellan's ship around the globe, remarks Guillemard, are the two greatest deeds in the history of geography. Through these two voyages Spain laid the foundation of that wonderful colonial power which began at the end of the fifteenth century and was destined to pass away at the dawn of the twentieth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voyaging Southward From the Strait of MagellanAnd in proof of it (for, as a boast of virtue is evidence of wickedness, and of wicked ness the contrary, proof is needed), I mind the reader of a discrepancy in Chapter II of the book. There, while our poverty is laid bare, and the hand of others' generosity is displayed as fitting out my mate and me with many things, it is not told how and where we got our food supplies for a voyage of many months. Where we procured them, since the story of that would involve several persons of high position, will not be told: but bow, is my confession.
