Synopsis
What happened to Ferdinand Magellan's voyage to circle the world--one of the largest and best-equipped expeditions ever mounted? Thrilling, grisly, and completely true, Laurence Bergreen's Magellan: Over the Edge of the World tells the story that not only marks a turning point in history, but also resonates powerfully with the present., A middle-grade adaptation of Laurence Bergreen's adult bestseller, about Magellan's historic voyage around the globe. On September 6, 1522, a horribly battered ship manned by eighteen malnourished, scurvy-ridden sailors appeared on the horizon near a Spanish port. They were survivors of the first European expedition to circle the globe. Originally comprised of five ships and 260 sailors, the fleet's captain and most of its crew were dead. How did Ferdinand Magellan's voyage to circle the world--one of the largest and best-equipped expeditions ever mounted--turn into this ghost ship? The answer is provided in this thoroughly researched tale of mutiny and murder spanning the entire globe, marked equally by triumph and tragedy. Thrilling, grisly, and completely true, Magellan: Over the Edge of the World tells a story that not only marks a turning point in history, but also resonates powerfully with the present.

    I took a chance on purchasing an out of print book with just the stock photo and a brief description of the condition. I was very surprised to get the book in pretty awesome condition. The book was as described and a fraction of the cost of other sellers. Shipping was fast and book was shipped in a padded package. I would purchase from this seller again. Thank you!
