Magellan: Over the Edge of the World
Magellan: Over the Edge of the World | Laurence Bergreen
5 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
A middle-grade adaptation of Laurence Bergreen's adult bestseller, about Magellan's historic voyage around the globe. On September 6, 1522, a horribly battered ship manned by eighteen malnourished, scurvy-ridden sailors appeared on the horizon near a Spanish port. They were survivors of the first European expedition to circle the globe. Originally comprised of five ships and 260 sailors, the fleet's captain and most of its crew were dead. How did Ferdinand Magellan's voyage to circle the world—one of the largest and best-equipped expeditions ever mounted—turn into this ghost ship? The answer is provided in this thoroughly researched tale of mutiny and murder spanning the entire globe, marked equally by triumph and tragedy. Thrilling, grisly, and completely true, Magellan: Over the Edge of the World tells a story that not only marks a turning point in history, but also resonates powerfully with the present.

One of my reading goals this year is too read 6 biography/ memoirs. I've read two so far. I have plans to read "I am Malala" and one over Marie Curie. I'm thinking Harriet Tubman for my 6th. What are some of your favorite biographies/memoirs? #biography #memoir #goal

Reading about Magellan for history book group. A great way to start #biblioweekend.

Ellsbeth A history book group sounds great! 8y
librariankris I'm actually in two of them, and they're fantastic. I'm surrounded by cool, smart people, and I just sit back and take it in. 😊 8y
CyranoseDeBergerac I bet the book groups are interesting! I feel like I wouldn't contribute much, but I could certainly sit back and take it in. That sounds like my style. Maybe some day! 🙂 I don't know how you do it all, Kris. You're like a superhuman or something! 8y
librariankris @CyranoseDeBergerac *blushing* Thanks, Amy! 8y
