Paperback. Condizione: Good. On 8 March 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China. The ships, some nearly five hundred feet long, were under the command of Emperor Zhu Di's loyal eunuch admirals. Their mission was 'to proceed all the way to the end of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas' and unite the world in Confucian harmony. Their journey would last for over two years and take them around the globe but by the time they returned home, China was beginning its long, self-imposed isolation from the world it had so recently embraced. And so the great ships were left to rot and the records of their journey were destroyed. And with them, the knowledge that the Chinese had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan, reached America seventy years before Columbus, and Australia three hundred and fifty years before Cook. The result of fifteen years research, 1421 is Gavin Menzies' enthralling account of the voyage of the Chinese fleet, the remarkable discoveries he made and the persuasive evidence to support them: ancient maps, precise navigational knowledge, astronomy and the surviving accounts of Chinese explorers and the later European navigators as well as the traces the fleet left behind - from sunken junks to the votive offerings left by the Chinese sailors wherever they landed, giving thanks to Shao Lin, goddess of the sea. Already hailed as a classic, this is the story of an extraordinary journey of discovery that not only radically alters our understanding of world exploration but also rewrites history itself. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Die Schnitte (und einzelne Seitenränder ebd.) leicht berieben, ansonsten guter bis sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. "1421: Chinesische Seefahrer entdecken Amerika - 70 Jahre vor Kolumbus. Sie durchfahren die Magellanstraße und umsegeln die ganze Welt - 100 Jahre vor Magellan. Sie landen in Australien - 350 Jahre vor Captain Cook. In diesem epochalen Buch liefert Gavin Menzies eine revolutionäre Neudeutung der Geschichte der großen Entdeckungsreisen und belegt eindrucksvoll, dass das Reich der Mitte auf der Höhe seiner Macht die Welt entdeckte - lange vor den Europäern." (Verlagstext) Rowan Gavin Paton Menzies (* 14. August 1937 in London; ? 12. April 2020) war ein britischer Kommandant der Royal Navy und Autor. Er stellte die Hypothese auf, dass Amerika und andere Gebiete der Erde in den Jahren 1421 bis 1423 von den Chinesen im Rahmen einer Weltumsegelung entdeckt worden seien. Obwohl er seine These durch nautische und kartographische Belege zu untermauern versucht, werden Menzies Thesen von Fachhistorikern als Fiktion abgelehnt. n seinem Buch 1421. Als China die Welt entdeckte stellt Menzies die Hypothese auf, dass chinesische Flotten auf Befehl des Kaisers Zhu Di von 1421 bis 1423 unter den Admiralen Zheng He, Zhou Wen, Zhou Man und Hong Bao den amerikanischen Kontinent vor Kolumbus entdeckten und zudem die erste Weltumsegelung hundert Jahre vor Magellan durchführten. Dabei sollen nicht nur Nord- und Südamerika, sondern auch Australien, die Arktis und die Antarktis entlang ihrer Küstenlinien kartographiert worden sein. Menzies vertrat die Ansicht, erst die Kenntnis dieser Karten habe die weltweiten Entdeckungen der europäischen Seefahrer im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert möglich gemacht. Er führte unter anderem folgende Beispiele an: Auf der Karte von Fra Mauro aus dem Jahr 1459 sei bereits das Kap der Guten Hoffnung abgebildet, das erst 1488 von Bartolomeu Diaz erreicht wurde. Auf Martin Waldseemüllers Weltkarte von 1507 sei der amerikanische Kontinent einschließlich Floridas dargestellt, das erstmals 1513 von Juan Ponce de León betreten wurde. Später modifizierte Menzies seine Theorie in Richtung einer noch früheren systematischen kartographischen Erfassung der Erde und wollte dies mit einer chinesischen Weltkarte, die aus dem Jahr 1418 stammen soll, untermauern. Die Authentizität der Karte, die nur in einer Fassung des 18. Jahrhunderts existiert, wird jedoch von Fachleuten bestritten. Menzies? Thesen werden von Fachhistorikern aufgrund fehlender Beweise abgelehnt oder sogar als reine Phantasieprodukte angesehen.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Soft cover. Very good. 649 pages.On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China to "proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas." When the fleet returned home in October 1423, the emperor had fallen, leaving China in political and economic chaos. The great ships were left to rot at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost in the long, self-imposed isolation that followed was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. And they colonized America before the Europeans, transplanting the principal economic crops that have since fed and clothed the world. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.
