COLUMBUS AND THE DISCOVERY OF JAPAN

Richard Nelson

That Columbus had a clearer sense of destiny than destination is, even without the facile irony of hindsight, emblematic of the confusion of motives and expectations which inspired him and his companions to undertake their epoch-making voyage, and which Richard Nelson explores in this intimate drama of epic events, as richly entertaining and subtly observed as his earlier plays which have made his reputation.
