Focusing on the personal journey of Christopher Columbus, this biography aims to engage a diverse readership by closely examining his life and experiences. Unlike many previous works, it minimizes extensive historical context, instead prioritizing Columbus's individual fortunes and achievements. The author acknowledges the influence of Washington Irving's notable biography while striving for a more streamlined narrative that highlights key events in Columbus's life without delving deeply into the broader historical backdrop of the West Indies or Spain.
