With Straits, celebrated historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto subjects the surviving sources to the most meticulous scrutiny ever, providing a timely and engrossing biography of the real Ferdinand Magellan. The truth that Fernandez-Armesto uncovers about Magellan's life, his character, and the events of his ill-fated voyage offers up a stranger, darker, and even more compelling narrative than the fictional version that has been celebrated for half a millennium. Magellan did not attempt--much less accomplish--a journey around the globe. In his lifetime he was abhorred as a traitor, reviled as a tyrant, self-condemned to destruction, and dismissed as a failure. Straits untangles the myths that made Magellan a hero and discloses the reality of the man, probing the passions and tensions that drove him to adventure and drew him to disaster. As the real Magellan emerges, so do his real ambitions, focused less on circumnavigating the world or cornering the global spice market than on exploiting Filipino gold. Straits is a study in failure and the paradox of Magellan's career, showing that renown is not always a reflection of merit but often a gift and accident of circumstance. 521 $a Young Adult. 650 0 $a Selective mutism $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Deaf youth $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Sign language $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Youth with disabilities $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Irwin, Lauren, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA72728268C411EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
