The Diario of Christopher Columbus's First Voyage to America, 1492-1493
This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date.

Columbus himself is revealed as a fascinating and contradictory figure, fluctuating from awed enthusiasm to paranoia and eccentric geographical speculation. Prey to petty quarrels with his officers, his pious desire to bring Christian civilization to 'savages' matched by his rapacity for gold, Columbus was nonetheless an explorer and seaman of staggering vision and achievement.
