Мы живем в эпоху Великих географических открытий

Velikie otkrytii͡a - sobytii͡a, izmenivshie zhiznʹ vsego chelovechestva na Zemle. Vpervye v istorii narody planety, ot Evropy i Azii do samykh dalʹnikh gornykh dolin Peru i ostrovkov v Tikhom okeane, uznali drug o druge. Za tri stoletii͡a ėpokhi Velikikh otkrytiĭ chelovechestvo vpervye oshchutilo svoim domom vsi͡u planetu Zemli͡a. Kak zhe skladyvalasʹ zhiznʹ li͡udeĭ toĭ pory? Chego oni boi͡alisʹ? K chemu stremilisʹ? V chëm byli pokhozhi i ne pokhozhi na nas? Kak oni voevali? Na chëm plavali? Vo chto verili? Chemu uchilisʹ? Chto eli i chto nosili? Obo vsëm ėtom nasha kniga. My otpravimsi͡a v morskoe puteshestvie v Indii͡u vsled za Kolumbom, a potom i v krugosvetku - s Magellanom. Stanem svideteli͡ami togo, kak konkistadory pokori͡ai͡ut imperii inkov i at͡stekov, kak Ispanii͡a i Portugalii͡a deli͡at mezhdu soboĭ vesʹ mir i poluchai͡ut neveroi͡atnye dividendy. Poĭdëm na vostok, v Sibirʹ, vmeste s pomorami i kazakami, otpravimsi͡a v Velikui͡u severnui͡u ėkspedit͡sii͡u vo glave s Vitusom Beringom. Sovershim udivitelʹnoe plavanie s Chzhėn Khė i privezëm s soboĭ nastoi͡ashchego t͡silini͡a! Ėpokha velikikh otkrytiĭ zakonchilasʹ, no sami otkrytii͡a ne zakonchatsi͡a nikogda!

Great discoveries are events that have changed the life of all mankind on Earth. For the first time in history, the peoples of the planet, from Europe and Asia to the farthest mountain valleys of Peru and islands in the Pacific Ocean, learned about each other. For the first time in three centuries of the era of Great Discoveries, mankind has felt the entire planet Earth as its home. What was the life of the people of that time? What were they afraid of? What were you aiming for? In what ways were they similar and different from us? How did they fight? What did you swim on? What did you believe in? What did you learn? What did you eat and what did you wear? Our book is about all this. We will go on a sea trip to India after Columbus, and then on a trip around the world with Magellan. Let's witness how the conquistadors conquered the empires of the Incas and Aztecs, how Spain and Portugal divided the whole world among themselves and received incredible dividends. Let's go east to Siberia, together with the Pomors and Cossacks, we will go on the Great Northern Expedition led by Vitus Behring. Let's take an amazing swim with Zheng He and bring a real Qilin with us! The era of great discoveries is over, but the discoveries themselves will never end!
