| Summary | "Geschichte des Zeitalters der Entdeckungen" by Sophus Ruge is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores the significant period known as the Age of Discovery, detailing the explorations and expeditions that shaped global understanding and interaction during this transformative time. The narrative likely covers various explorers, their journeys, and the broader implications of their discoveries on world history. At the start of the text, Ruge sets the stage by discussing the cyclical nature of exploration, emphasizing that there are periods of great activity and enthusiasm followed by stagnation. He outlines the geographical limitations of the ancient world, particularly focusing on how the Mediterranean and the connected highlands of Asia influenced exploration directions. Ruge introduces the intriguing concept of the "Morgenseite" (Morning side), referring to the East's allure compared to the "Abendseite" (Evening side), suggesting a cultural and economic fascination with the riches of lands such as India. Thus, the opening portion provides a contextual background necessary to understand the motivations and objectives driving navigators and explorers in their quest to unveil the unknown.
