Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Columbus and What He Found The immoital deed of Columbus will never lose its hold upon the heart of humanity, whatever the criticisms upon it. It will always be told, not only for what was found, but because simple heroism - the same element which has immortalized Greek heroic tales - will always move us, head and heart. It is strange that, great and simple as Columbus was, we have made so little use of his story for the children, compared with that of other historic characters. In the stilted past, for some reason, the head has made most of the estimates of the profits and losses to all concerned in this affair. We have not really known the man Columbus; hence we have not loved him. The deed has so blessed and dazzled us we have known only it. The world is growing simpler and sincerer and more kind. The heart shall yet do its reckoning and shall find the humanity of it all. For during a time of slavish bondage to rules and rank, regulations and institutions, here was a man, in spite of them, perfectly true to himself and his God. "The greatest miracle among ye is, Here stands a man." Mentally, morally and physically, a most manly man is Columbus - and only a man.
