To research his life, I immersed myself in the rigors and suffering and beauty and drama of this, the most famous sea voyage in history.  The result is a tale largely based on neglected original sources. Magellan's bold and remarkable feats of exploration gave us many scientific and geographic concepts that we continue to rely on.  He and his men voyaged to the ends of the Earth, sailing over the edge of the known world, as they explored the limits of human endurance and the darkest recesses of the human soul. I personally visited and retraced the highlights of Magellan's route -- from the seething Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain, through the Strait of Magellan, only five hundred miles above the Antarctic Circle, to his untimely death in the Philippines, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/librarypoint.bibliocommons.com\/list\/share\/1253299607_crrl_michelleb\/2217404579_crrl_picks_-_great_lives_2023_-_magellan?_gl=1*tvupv8*_ga*OTQ2NDU1MjAxLjE2NzMzNjA0NDM.*_ga_G99DMMNG39*MTY3Mzc0MzMwNS4yLjEuMTY3Mzc0NTMxOC4wLjAuMA..&_ga=2.6771442.1378975210.1673743305-946455201.1673360443\"> Further Reading Resource List<\/a> provided by CRRL<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Laurence Bergreen<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-150x150.jpeg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-300x298.jpeg 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-1024x1019.jpeg 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-768x764.jpeg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-1536x1528.jpeg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-2048x2037.jpeg 2048w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-1140x1134.jpeg 1140w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-50x50.jpeg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Bergreen-pic-updated-scaled-e1676818657805-75x75.jpeg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Laurence Bergreen, a graduate of Harvard University, is a prolific writer, whose most recent book is <i>Casanova: The World of a Seductive Genius<\/i>, published by Simon & Schuster in 2016.
