El Diario de a bordo de Cristóbal Colón —transcrito por Bartolomé de las Casas— nos descubre a un personaje fascinante y contradictorio, que pasa del entusiasmo a la desconfianza o a las especulaciones geográficas más aventuradas (confunde, por ejemplo, Cuba por Cipango, el nombre que los europeos daban a Japón durante el Medioevo). Sin embargo, aunque en su persona se mezclen la maravilla ante el mundo desconocido, el piadoso deseo de evangelizar a los «salvajes» y una manifiesta avidez de riquezas, Colón fue sin duda un explorador y un navegante increíblemente visionario. En su segundo viaje Colón salió de Cádiz el 25 de septiembre de 1493 con tres galeones o carracas, 14 carabelas y 1 .500 acompañantes. Llegó a las Islas Caribes el 4 de noviembre del mismo año. Descubrió la Isla de Borinquen (Puerto Rico) y el 27 noviembre llegó a La Española, donde con dolor solo encontró las ruinas del fuerte de La Navidad. Estuvo en La Española hasta el 24 de abril de 1494, dejando reconstruida una población que llamó La Isabela. Siguiendo su viaje descubrió la isla de Jamaica, el día 3 de mayo. Recorrió el sur de Cuba y llegó hasta la isla de Pinos que llamó Evangelista. Regresó enfermo a La Isabela, y mejorado, volvió a España. Esta expedición estaba muy bien equipada, incluso con todo lo necesario para el establecimiento y conquista; llevó caballos, vacas, ove jas, cabras, cerdos y aves de corral; entre las semillas y plantas: trigo, cebada, la vid, el limón, el naranjo y caña de azúcar (llamada por entonces oro blanco). En su tercer viaje —en 1498— descubrió la isla de Trinidad, el río Orinoco y parte de América del Sur. También fue arrestado por el juez, Francisco de Bobadilla, por supuestas irregularidades en su gobierno. Su cuarto y último viaje fue de mayo de 1502 a 17 de noviembre de 1504, cuando volvió enfermo a España. Visitó las pequeñas Antillas, La Española, Jamaica y Honduras.

Christopher Columbus authored over a hundred documents, many of them letters giving testimony on the Discovery to Isabela and Ferdinand. In this first book in English to focus specifically on these writings, Margarita Zamora offers an original analysis of their textual problems and ideological implications. Her comprehensive study takes into account the newly discovered "Libro Copiador," which includes previously unknown letters from Columbus to the Crown. Zamora examines those aspects of the texts that have caused the most anxiety and disagreement among scholars—questions concerning Columbus's destination, the authenticity and authority of the texts attributed to him, Las Casas's editorial role, and Columbus's views on the Indians. In doing so she opens up the vast cultural context of the Discovery. Exploring the ways in which the first images of America as seen through European eyes both represented and helped shape the Discovery, she maps the inception and growth of a discourse that was to dominate the colonizing of the New World. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993. Christopher Columbus authored over a hundred documents, many of them letters giving testimony on the Discovery to Isabela and Ferdinand.

When Columbus was born in the mid-fifteenth century, Europe was largely isolated from the rest of the Old World - Africa and Asia - and ignorant of the existence of the world of the Western Hemisphere. The voyages of Christopher Columbus opened a period of European exploration and empire building that breached the boundaries of those isolated worlds and changed the course of human history. This book describes the life and times of Christopher Columbus on the 500th aniversary of his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Since ancient times, Europeans had dreamed of discovering new routes to the untold riches of Asia and the Far East, what set Columbus apart from these explorers was his single-minded dedication to finding official support to make that dream a reality. More than a simple description of the man, this new book places Columbus in a very broad context of European and world history. Columbus's story is not just the story of one man's rise and fall. Seen in its broader context, his life becomes a prism reflecting the broad range of human experience for the past five hundred years. Respected historians of medieval Spain and early America, the authors examine Columbus's quest for funds, first in Portugal and then in Spain, where he finally won royal backing for his scheme. Through his successful voyage in 1492 and three subsequent journeys to the new world Columbus reached the pinnacle of fame and wealth, and yet he eventually lost royal support through his own failings. William and Carla Rahn Phillips discuss the reasons for this fall and describe the empire created by the Spaniards in the lands across the ocean, even though neither they, nor anyone else in Europe, know precisely where or what those lands were. In examining the birth of a new world, this book reveals much about the times that produced these intrepid explorers.

Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.

Travis Zadeh revives the work of the thirteenth-century Persian scholar Qazwīnī, whose Wonders and Rarities was for centuries one of the most influential natural histories in the world. Inviting us to embrace anew Qazwīnī’s rationalized study of nature and magic, Zadeh dramatically revises the place of wonder in the history of Islamic thought.
