Focusing on the personal life and fortunes of Christopher Columbus, this biography aims to engage a broad audience by presenting a detailed account of his experiences. Unlike many predecessors, it does not delve extensively into the broader historical context of the West Indies or Spanish history, instead prioritizing Columbus's individual narrative. The author acknowledges the influence of Washington Irving's work while choosing a more streamlined approach that highlights Columbus's journey and character, providing a fresh perspective on the iconic explorer's life.
