Venetian Navigators: The Mystery of the Voyages of the Zen Brothers by Andrea di Robilant

Price: £9.99 Add to Basket

Part history, part travelogue, this lively tale of 14th-century map-mania sets out to uncover the truth about the two intrepid brothers who charted apparently new-found lands in the North Atlantic. According to legend, the brothers Zen encountered warrior princes, savage natives and beautiul coasts, possibly even reaching the New World a hundred years before Columbus. In this absorbing portrait, di Robilant explores the possibility that these stories might not be as fictitious as they have always appeared.
