Sofort lieferbar! Mängelexemplar mit Lagerspuren. Rechnung mit MwSt. Gebunden, 312 S., 22,2cm x 14,7cm x 3,2cm, Zum 500. Todestag des legendären Entdeckers: die schicksalhafte letzte Fahrt des Christoph Columbus. März 1502. Der 13-jährige Pablo hat alles verloren, was ihm wichtig ist. Ohne Familie und heimatlos geworden, heuert er als Schiffsjunge auf einem der riesigen Segler an, die Admiral Columbus für seine vierte Entdeckungsreise rüstet. Das große Abenteuer erhofft sich Pablo - flüstert doch die Mannschaft von der lange gesuchten Durchfahrt ins Indische Meer, Columbus' großer Vision, und vom sagenhaften Indianergold. Mit an Bord ist auch Columbus' Sohn, der 13-jährige Fernando, reich und hochmütig. Aber bald schon sind die beiden so unterschiedlichen Jungen aufeinander angewiesen, denn nun beginnt unter der Leitung ihres besessenen Admirals eine lebensgefährliche Suche entlang fremder Küsten, bedroht von Versorgungsnot, blutigen Revolten, entfesselten Stürmen und schicksalhaften Schiffbrüchen ... * Hervorragend recherchiert und packend erzählt * Columbus zwischen Entdeckervision und rücksichtslosem Wahn * Christa-Maria Zimmermann wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Friedrich-Gerstäcker-Preis für Jugendliteratur 2005/2006 * Realistische Beschreibung der Schattenseiten der beginnenden Kolonialisierung Amerikas "Christa-Maria Zimmermann (...) gelingt es in ihrem neuen historischen Jugendroman 'Das Gold des Columbus' (...) eine packende Geschichte von Columbus' vierter und letzter Entdeckungsreise nach Westen zu erzählen. Sehr eindrucksvoll erwacht vor den Augen des Lesers eine ferne Zeit zum Leben. (...) 'Das Gold des Columbus' überzeugt als eine Geschichte, die fundiert und spannend verpackt (...) die Tatsache ernst genommen hat, dass Christoph Columbus niemals allein gewesen ist auf seinen Reisen. Im Gegenteil: er hatte sogar eine ganze Epoche immer im Gepäck." Süddeutsche Zeitung / Jens-Christian Rabe "Ein Jugendbuch, das es verdient, in einem Atemzug mit Klassikern des Abenteuerromans wie Melvilles 'Moby Dick', Stevensons 'Schatzinsel' oder Defoes 'Robinson Crusoe' genannt zu werden." Eselsohr über 'Gefangen im Packeis' "Christa-Maria Zimmermann schlägt selbst den wenig Abenteuer interessierten Leser in den Bann." Süddeutsche Zeitung
