Magallanes. El hombre y su gesta pdf by Stefan Zweig

Y de todas las figuras y de todos los viajes, llegue a admirar principalmente la hazana del hombre que, a mi sentir, realizo la mas grande proeza en la historia de la exploracion de la Tierra: Fernando de Magallanes, quien salio con cinco minusculos cuteres de pescadores, de Sevilla, para dar la vuelta al mundo, la odisea mas esplendida en la historia de la humanidad, aquella partida de doscientos sesenta y cinco hombres decididos, de los que luego solo regresaron dieciocho en un galeon carcomido, pero con la bandera de la mayor victoria izada en el mastil. No habia mucha informacion en aquellos libros sobre el; de todos modos, no la suficiente para mi. Por eso, al volver de mi viaje, lei e indague mas, sorprendido de lo poco digno de fe que se ha escrito hasta ahora acerca de esta proeza admirable. Y, como otras veces, reconocia la mejor y la mas fertil posibilidad de explicarme algo que a mi mismo me resultaba inexplicable, dandole forma y explicandolo a otros. Asi nacio este libro, puedo decir, sinceramente, que ante mi propia sorpresa. Pues mientras presentaba esta nueva odisea, de acuerdo con todos los documentos disponibles, todo lo mas fielmente, me embargaba sin cesar la extrana sensacion de contar algo ideado, uno de los grandes suenos anhelantes, uno de los sagrados cuentos de la humanidad. Pero nada hay mejor que una verdad que impresiona como algo improbable. A los mas grandes hechos heroicos de la humanidad siempre les queda pegado un algo inconcebible, porque se elevan tan enormemente sobre el termino medio terrestre; pero siempre la humanidad reconquista su fe en si misma solo por lo increible que ha realizado.
