«1434: El año en que una flota china llegó a Italia e inició el Renacimiento» is the historical essay by Gavin Menzies, published by Debate in hardback.
In 1434, according to Gavin Menzies, a Chinese fleet arrived in Italy and met with Pope Eugene IV, leaving knowledge of cartography, astronomy, mathematics, art and printing that spurred the European Renaissance. The author reinterprets the origin of this period and places Chinese civilisation at the centre of that exchange of knowledge.
Volume of 432 pages in Spanish, originally published in 2009. Menzies is also the author of the bestseller «1421».
A read for a general audience interested in the history of the Renaissance and in theses that revise the conventional historical account.
Rowan Gavin Paton Menzies was a British submarine lieutenant-commander who authored books claiming that the Chinese sailed to America before Columbus. Historians have rejected Menzies' theories and assertions and have categorised his work as pseudohistory.
