This audiobook explores the intriguing story behind how the continents came to be named "America," focusing on the unexpected and ironic historical events that led to this naming. Stefan Zweig, through meticulous research and engaging narrative, uncovers how a single, likely flawed map and a series of accidents resulted in the continents being named after Amerigo Vespucci rather than Columbus. Combining original documents and vivid storytelling, the audiobook offers a compelling examination of a major geographical misnomer rooted in chance, confusion, and historical irony.
