Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the captivating tale of European maritime exploration in the Middle Ages and the pivotal role played by daring Norman explorers in unraveling the mysteries of the African coast. Countering long-standing assumptions, the author presents a wealth of evidence to challenge the widely held belief that the Portuguese were the first to venture beyond the Cape Bojador, arguing instead that the Normands had already made significant discoveries in the region by the 14th century. Through meticulous research, the author uncovers the forgotten history of these intrepid sailors, their motivations, and the impact of their journeys on Europe's understanding of the world. This book challenges conventional narratives and sheds new light on the origins of European exploration, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of the Normans, whose adventures helped shape the course of history.
