Summary

Si les Vikings ont abordé le continent américain bien avant lui, c'est indéniablement Christophe Colomb qui a ouvert à l'ouest la route d'un "Nouveau Monde". Pourquoi a-t-on utilisé, pour baptiser cette partie du monde, le prénom d'Amerigo Vespucci ? 

Alors même qu'il s'installe en Amérique, Stefan Zweig reconstitue l'enchevêtrement des circonstances, des hasards, des malentendus qui sont à l'origine de cette étrange erreur. Écrivain constamment soucieux d'élargir son horizon, il nous invite ici à voir le monde avec les yeux des hommes du XVe siècle, leurs connaissances, leurs incertitudes. Grâce à ses talents de conteur, Stefan Zweig, comme dans une enquête, échafaude les différentes pistes possibles pour expliquer ce malentendu historique.
