1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created is a nonfiction book by Charles C. Mann first published in 2011.[1] It covers the global effects of the Columbian Exchange, following Columbus's first landing in the Americas, that lead to our current globalized world civilization.[2][3] It follows on from Mann's previous book on the Americas prior to Columbus, 1491.[4]
In the United Kingdom, the book is published by Granta Books and is titled 1493: How the Ecological Collision of Europe and the Americas Gave Rise to the Modern World.
Reception
Ian Morris in his New York Times review appreciates the interesting tales Mann tells, writing: "He makes even the most unpromising-sounding subjects fascinating. I, for one, will never look at a piece of rubber in quite the same way now that I have been introduced to the debauched nouveaux riches of 19th-century Brazil, guzzling Champagne from bathtubs and gunning one another down in the streets of Manaus."[5] Gregory McNamee in The Washington Post finds 1493 "fascinating and complex, exemplary in its union of meaningful fact with good storytelling."[6]
