Shipwrecked off the coast of Portugal on the 13th of August 1476, the 25-year-old, Genoa-born Christopher Columbus find refuge with his younger brother Bartholomew, a map maker in Lisbon, the very centre of exploration endeavours. Where many would find themselves lost, the Columbus brothers find themselves on the verge of discovery.

Érik Orsenna brings Christopher Columbus and his brother Bartolomeo to life in a novel that explores how a passion for discovery can tragically lead to the destruction of what has been discovered.
