About this ebook
Ferdinand Magellan, the intrepid explorer, changed the course of history by leading the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. Born in 1480 in Portugal, Magellan’s daring journey proved that the Earth was round and interconnected. This biography explores his early life as a sailor, his service to the Portuguese crown, and his eventual defection to Spain to pursue his vision of finding a westward route to the Spice Islands. Magellan’s expedition was fraught with challenges, including mutiny, harsh conditions, and his untimely death in the Philippines. This book captures his determination, resilience, and the profound impact of his journey on global exploration, trade, and our understanding of the world.
