Amerigo - The Story of a Historical Error

Amerigo - The Story of a Historical Error Book Description Stefan Zweig, whom we know with his comments on both imaginary and historical characters, is his interest in psychology and Freud's teachings, which leads him to deep character studies. Containing portraits of five historical figures, Moments When the Star Shines, along with Joseph Fouché, a portrait of a politician in the French Revolution, Amerigo is one of the most successful of Zweig's biographies based on intuition rather than objectivity. In this work, Zweig tells the comedy of errors, woven with incredible coincidences, behind the name given to the mainland we know today as America. Is the Italian sailor Amerigo Vespucci, who came to the conclusion that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus should be a new world, a fraudster seeking fame, or a wise man who deserves to have his name written in history? While trying to open the curtain of mystery, Zweig turns Amerigo Vespucci's life story into a creative narrative and presents us with a masterful work.
