Author Blond G.
Title Velikie tajny okeanov. Sredizemnoe more. Poljarnye morja
Description The history of the exploration and development of the vast expanses of the world's oceans is a story of courage, enterprise, and perseverance. At the center of the popular French writer Georges Blond's ambitious vision is man and the sea, in their diverse, complex, and almost mystical relationship. All great navigators were, in a sense, captives of the sea, which forever captivated their hearts: no matter how terrible the hardships of a sea voyage, they always rushed back to face the formidable elements, to meet new dangers and discoveries. Columbus, Magellan, and Heyerdahl — all of them, like the ancient Vikings and Phoenicians before them, were obsessed with the sea, with the dream of new sea routes and unknown lands. Georges Blond's maritime epic tells the story of these great conquerors of the world's oceans.

This publication includes fascinating stories about the history of human exploration of the Mediterranean and polar seas, as well as the history of piracy. The book is illustrated with reproductions of paintings, engravings, maps, photographs — historical images, one way or another connected with Blond's fascinating stories — and is also supplied with extensive reference material, including maps, dictionaries of names, maritime terms, and the names of ships and aircraft.
