Great Secrets of the Oceans. Atlantic Ocean. Indian Ocean

The history of exploration and mastery of the endless expanses of the world ocean is a story of courage, enterprise, and perseverance. At the center of the grand design of the popular French writer Georges Blon is Man and the Sea in their diverse, complex, almost mystical relationships. All great navigators were, in a certain sense, prisoners of the sea, which forever captured their hearts: no matter what terrible hardships the sea voyage entailed, they always yearned once again to meet the fearsome element, to face new dangers and discoveries. Columbus, Magellan, Heyerdahl - all of them, starting from ancient Vikings or Phoenicians, were obsessed with the sea, the dream of new sea routes and unknown lands. The great epic of Georges Blon tells of the great conquerors of the great oceans.
In the new edition in Russian of the book from the series "Great Secrets of the Oceans" ("Great Hour of the Oceans"), illustrated with reproductions of paintings, engravings, maps, photographs - historical images related in one way or another to the fascinating plots of Georges Blon. Furthermore, the books are equipped with extensive reference material, including maps, dictionaries of names, maritime terms, and names of ships and aircraft.
The first book includes stories about two of the three greatest oceans of the globe - the Atlantic and Indian, the history of exploration of each of which is unique, yet the plots often flow into one another, just as the waters of the great oceans do.
