Review of Columbus, Slave Trader

[todwyer01]

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction narrated by Guarocuya, a native of Hispaniola, as he tells the story of how Columbus and his men enslaved the natives for their own purposes. While it may not be for everyone, it might be worth a second look. Well done.

I will also find it hard to believe that Columbus was also once a slave. However, I will still love to read the author's perspective. An historical fiction indeed! Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

This book review is for *Columbus, Slave Trader* by Marcus Wilson. The book is a historical fiction that delves into the events that took place in Hispaniola between 1493 and 1495. The story is narrated through the eyes of Guarocuya, a native of Hispaniola, and combines historical accuracy with compelling storytelling. The book portrays Admiral Columbus in a different light, depicting him as a slave trader in search of gold. The narrative captures the brutality inflicted upon the Taínos by Columbus and his men, offering a powerful perspective. Guarocuya's loyalty to his people and his bravery add a deeply human element to the historical narrative. The book is flawlessly edited and beautifully written, with exceptional storytelling, historical accuracy, and character development. I give this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone interested in history.

I thought Marcus Wilson's "Columbus, Slave Trader" to be an enlightening story that questions conventional wisdom after reading it. The book emphasizes Columbus's atrocities against indigenous peoples as well as his involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. It made me to reconsider how I perceive history and the complexity of historical personalities.

"Columbus, the Servant" by Marcus Wilson is an important piece of historical fiction that delves into the events of Hispaniola between 1493 and 1495. Through the eyes of Guarocuya from Hispaniola, Wilson tells the story of the events. historical facts that reveal the dark side of history. History of Admiral Columbus. The position of Columbus, who is known more than anyone as an explorer, as one of the first slave traders is the center of this story.
The book follows Columbus' search for gold, which ends in disappointment. Without much gold, Columbus turned to the slave trade. This story shows the suffering of the Taíno during the time of Columbus and his people, which gives a little contrast to the positive image of Columbus.
Wilson's performance of Guarocuya is particularly strong. His loyalty to his people and his determination to leave the comforts of Spain to return home and fight for the freedom of his people made him come. Guarocuya's bravery and self-respect are very influential in the story.
The error of editing the book and the use of traditional narrators enriches the stories that give a unique perspective on this historical period. The careful attention to historical detail and the combination of fact and fiction make this a new style.
I had no problem finding myself in any aspect of the book. Wilson's ability to create an interesting story deserves a lot of praise and I give this book a full 5/5 stars.
I recommend "Columbus, the slave trader" to all history lovers. It provides a detailed and thoughtful account of the events in Hispaniola, revealing an overlooked part of Columbus's history.

This book offers a compelling and eye-opening exploration of a lesser-known aspect of history, portraying Christopher Columbus not just as an explorer but as one of the first slave traders. This book narrative challenges the traditional heroic image of Columbus and sheds light on the inhumane treatment that indigenous people endured. Nice review.
