'A dazzling tale, brilliantly told' Peter Frankopan 'Marries the intrigue of Europe's most powerful royal courts with the globe-trotting thrill of adventure and discovery' Sunday Telegraph, 5* review DURING THE AGE OF DISCOVERY, in the autumn of 1550, a little-known public servant in the Venetian government, Giovambattista Ramusio, anonymously published Navigationi et Viaggi (Journeys and Navigations).
