Take a risk to climb Everest

The book is made in the format of a cognitive comic: Founded on historical facts, the narrative is clothed in an easily perceived by a modern child. The book has a fascinating plot, and humor, but at the same time she talks about the main geographical discovery in history - about the swimming of Christopher Columbus to the shores of America.
Many contemporaries Columbus idea to go to the West to achieve the East, seemed insane. Columbus knew from books that the land is round, but the existence of America did not suspect: his initial goal was Japan, then he planned to get to China, and finally India. In the first swimming, Columbus achieved only the Bahamas and Cubes, and only during the fourth expedition, in 1502, went to the shores of America.
In accordance with the format of the series, the book offers the reader to take on the role of one of the characters and go through all the tests along with other characters of the book. In this case, this character is a simple sailor, a young man from Palos city, since childhood he dreamed of long journeys. Looking at his eyes to swimming, the reader learn not only about the most important events of expeditions and the fate of Columbus, but also about the life of sailors. For example, about what they fed (and it is not too appetizing!), How well they worked (and this is very severely) and about the hazardous hazards (which would be better to avoid).
The book will tell that the sails under the sail during the opening of America were not a romantic walk, but a heavy test that Spanish colonialists were far from the angels that the royal reward for the exploits of Columbus became poverty and oblivion. And yet, by closing the last page, the reader will certainly regret that the era of the opening of the unknown land remained in the distant past.
