«Magellan: Conqueror of the Seas» is the historical biography by Stefan Zweig, published by Independently published in paperback (274 pages, in English).
Zweig reconstructs the life of Ferdinand Magellan and the expedition that set out in 1519 under the Spanish flag: the Pacific crossing, the mutinies, the hunger and the navigator's death in the Philippines. One of his ships completed the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1522, and Zweig turns the feat into a psychological portrait of the explorer.
The work was originally published in 1938; this English edition, published in 2025, is presented as a new translation of Zweig's text.
For readers of historical biographies and chronicles of maritime exploration, as well as for those who enjoy tales of travel and discovery.
