| Summary | "Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 4" by Filson Young is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and achievements of Christopher Columbus, particularly focusing on his triumphant return to Spain following his first journey to the New World, which led to his rise in fame and fortune. The opening of the volume describes Columbus's grand return to Spain in 1493, where he is celebrated as a national hero. The text captures the exhilaration and enthusiasm surrounding his achievements, detailing the ceremonious receptions he received as he traveled from Palos to Seville and then on to Barcelona. We witness Columbus basking in the glory and accolades bestowed upon him by the Spanish monarchy and society, alongside the display of indigenous people and exotic treasures from his voyages. However, the narrative hints at the complexities and darker undertones of his rise to power, setting the stage for an exploration of both the triumphs and the consequences of Columbus’s discoveries and ambitions as the story unfolds.
