Journal of the First Voyage of Columbus is a vivid account of exploration, discovery, and cultural encounter, framed within the context of the late 15th century and the dawn of European expansion into the New World. Through his daily entries, Christopher Columbus documents not only the practical challenges of navigation and leadership but also his perceptions of the lands and peoples he encountered. The journal reflects both the spirit of curiosity and ambition that drove the Age of Discovery, as well as the misconceptions and biases of its time. Since its preservation and dissemination, the Journal has been regarded as a foundational text in the history of exploration, offering insight into the mindset of one of history's most consequential voyages. Its descriptions of the Caribbean islands, their natural landscapes, and the Indigenous inhabitants provide a first-hand perspective on the initial moments of contact between Europe and the Americas. The enduring relevance of the Journal lies in its ability to capture the tension between aspiration and reality—between the mythic expectations of discovery and the lived experience of voyage and encounter. By chronicling the uncertainties, hopes, and triumphs of his expedition, Columbus invites readers into the mindset of an era defined by expansion, ambition, and the profound reshaping of world history.
