{"product_id":"the-nine-lives-of-christopher-columbus","title":"The Nine Lives of Christopher Columbus","description":"Christopher Columbus, the Genoese navigator once considered a hero, is now blamed for bringing plunder and genocide to the Americas. In The Nine Lives of Christopher Columbus, Matthew Restall explores the central questions of Columbiana. Though we know a great deal about Columbus’s life, Restall demonstrates that Columbus was not as remarkable as many have assumed.   His afterlives, however, are another story: Restall narrates the international contest over Columbus’s bones and the dozens of claims on his birthplace, examining how he became a hero and more. The result is a kaleidoscopic account of a single man that becomes a new history of the modern world.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503844729205,"sku":"9781324134404","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-nine-lives-of-christopher-columbus","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
