En un intento de encontrar el hombre detrás del personaje, este libro arroja luces sobre la época en que vivió Vespucci y las razones para su desconocimiento por muchos historiadores tradicionales, y revela un Vespucci muy distante del descrito por el fanatismo de sus admiradores o la maledicencia de sus detractores.
