Attali reconstructs 1492 as a pivotal year: Columbus's arrival in America, the fall of the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian peninsula, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and the election of a Borgia as pope, and shows how Europe turns towards the Atlantic and lays the foundations of rationalism, modern democracy and its own historical narrative.
The Fayard edition appeared on 4 September 1991 and includes bibliographic references (pages 357-365) and an index.
For readers of historical essays interested in the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity and in European Atlantic expansion.
