قصة الكتاب :
The account of the alleged voyage of Amerigo Vespucci in 1497-98 was written for that worthy\'s own countrymen, and for foreigners who lived at a distance from the Peninsula. When, after some years, the story reached Spain in print, men were still alive who would have known whether any such voyage had ever been made. Among them was the able and impartial historian Las Casas, who considered that the story was false, and disproved it from internal evidence. The authority of Las Casas is alone conclusive. Modern investigators, such as Robertson, Munoz, Navarrete, Humboldt, Washington Irving, and D\'Avezac examined the question, and they all came to the same conclusion as Las Casas.
