{"product_id":"9781603841337","title":"Columbus on Himself","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntended as an antidote to potted biographies and piecemeal reconstructions of his voyages, this volume draws on judicious selections from Christopher Columbus's own writings--chronologically arranged, and translated into idiomatic English--to relate his self-perception and personal history, as far as is possible, in his own words. The result is a full and vivid (and often surprising) portrait of this complex man and the role he thought he was destined to play as God's instrument on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four illustrations, maps of Columbus’s routes across the Atlantic and his travels in the West Indies, and an index further enhance this introduction to his life and discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hackett Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061191688432,"sku":"9781603841337","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781603841337_p0.jpg?v=1763830618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781603841337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
