Enjoying this so far. There are some factual errors some of which might be editorial and typographical (ex. age given as 28 not 18), others are somewhat glaring (wrong person named for incident).

The more interesting point of this book is the approach it takes to the situation of Henry's reign and his struggles with his own belief, conscience, and the events of the day.

Kniha vypráví o Angličanovi Drakeovi, který se chystal na novou expedici na moře. Drakeovi to ale trvalo čtyři roky, než expedici uskutečnil.

Vydal se na dvě průzkumné cesty na západ od Indie a podnikl patnáctiměsíční krvavou loupežnou výpravu.… (más)
