| Annotation | Meltzer, in this meticulously researched account, moves beyond Columbus's skills as a navigator to paint a picture of an arrogant, obsessive dreamer. Driven by greed for wealth and power and by a dubious interest in converting "the heathens," Columbus, like his comtemporaries, saw non-Europeans as inferior being ripe for enslavement, and their lands ripe for European exploitation. For grades 6-9 and older readers. |
