Synopsis

Imagine a boy who lives at a time when many people still believe the world is flat.... Imagine him standing on a sea wall, gazing at the horizon and wondering.

listening to the merchants and sailors as they unload their cargoes.

Imagine him dreaming of faraway places and people, like those he's read about in The Travels of Marco Polo.

Through intricate and richly detailed pictures, Peter Sís takes us into this fifteenth-century world, giving us an artist's interpretation of the Columbus story. He offers us a unique way of seeing and understanding the events of 1492 as a voyage of true discovery and the opening up of new worlds.
