America: A man who gave his name to America. Fernandez-Armes F.

America Vespucci is the same person who in 1507 gave his name to America. Whether he earned a whole continent to be named his name or not - disputes do not subside to this day. In this first critical biography of Vespucci, we follow him from Florence Lorenzo de Medici to Seville Ferdinand and Isabella, through the Atlantic of Columbus to meet our hero with a new light on the other edge of the ocean. The image of Vespucci Zybok - remains as elusive as in the Florentine half -season of his youth - but so close we will recognize him for the first time. No matter how little we know about what happened to Vespucci, and about his own actions, but after reading this book, the reader will better understand the famous Florentine and the era of great geographical discoveries.
