Early American history was born of European mysteries and myths. Leonid Spivak's new book, "When America Was Not," reveals some of these mysteries. Why was Cervantes going and not getting into the New World? How did the death of Queen Mary Stuart affect the fate of future New England settlers? How does Shakespeare's name relate to the oldest university in the US? Intertwined in the adventurous documentary narrative were the intrigues of Versailles and the courage of the North American settlers, the fate of the musketeers and the deeds of Cardinal Richelieu in the New World. As André Mauroy wrote, "it is not enough to know a person's temperament to understand his fate: the temperament is only canvas, according to which events and will embroider their patterns." The plot of the final part of the book was a sharp diplomatic duel between Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte. Its result was an unexpected historical decision that the French emperor made while lying in a hot bath. The international deal of two geniuses of intrigue created a great continental state - the United States of America.
