We find in Christopher Columbus a spirit never that never surrendered to simplicity. His soul is simple, but complex, and combines the taste for power and the non-passive acceptation of uncertainty. In the facts registered by historians, it is easy to identify the audacity of the Admiral, in which the border between the genius of the role and the anguish of the man can be identified. His history is slippery and seems not to find itself in many life topics, condition that makes it attractive and full of doubts, mysteries, wealth and intrigue.esCristóbal ColónCorporación Universitaria LasallistaHistoria de AméricaBiografíaArticle
