Summary: "The Story of Magellan and The Discovery of the Philippines" by Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the remarkable life and voyages of Ferdinand Magellan, detailing both his groundbreaking discoveries and the challenges he faced during his expeditions, particularly focusing on the exploration of the Philippines. The book aims to present Magellan's heroic character and passionate quest for discovery in an engaging manner suitable for readers of all ages, especially families and students. At the start of the story, the focus is on the early life of Ferdinand Magellan, detailing his desire for exploration and the circumstances that led him to seek a royal commission from Spain after being rejected by Portugal. The narrative highlights an early royal order demanding the removal of his family's coat of arms due to his defection to Spain. As Magellan’s aspirations begin to unfold, the opening also introduces notable figures, such as his friend Francisco Serrao and the astronomer Ruy Faleiro, who support his vision of finding a shorter route to the Spice Islands. Butterworth's portrayal of these foundational moments sets the stage for an epic journey filled with ambition, adventure, and the pursuit of discovery against the backdrop of political intrigue.
