As Ferdinand Magellan sets out on his final voyage, he forms an unlikely friendship with a rich scholar who harbors feelings for the captain, but in the end cannot save Magellan from his own greed. Balboa's peek at the South Sea may never have happened if it wasn't for his loyal and vicious dog, Leonico, and an unavoidable urge to relieve himself. And Captain Zimri Coffin is plagued by sleepless nights after reading Frankenstein, that is until his crew rescues two shipwrecked Englishmen who carry rumor of a giant and deadly white whale lurking in the depths of the ocean. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her signature blend of sophistication and savagery, darkness and humor, Sabina Murray investigates the complexities of faith, the lure of the unknown, and the elusive mingling of history and legend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.67w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/27\/2011 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2011 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sabina Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38210894758069,"sku":"9780802170835","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f6ae7ef0-c739-4b11-8609-d3c54f821cc5.jpg?v=1610427446","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tales-of-the-new-world-stories-9780802170835","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
