Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) discovered not only America - he pushed the boundaries of what is possible and permissible. All his life he strove for wealth and fame, but his main passion was an insatiable thirst for adventure. He was sure that the Earth was round, and therefore it was possible to swim to India not only by the east, but also by the west. To achieve his goal, he managed to light the king and queen of Spain with his faith, demanding from them as an advance for future discoveries the noble coat of arms and the title of Admiral of the Sea-Ocean and Viceroy of the new lands.
