Amerigo Vespucci is the same person who gave his name to America in 1507. Whether he deserved to have an entire continent named after him, or not, the debate continues to this day. In this first critical biography of Vespucci, we follow him from Lorenzo de' Medici's Florence to Ferdinand and Isabella's Seville, across Columbus' Atlantic to our hero's meeting with the New World on the other side of the ocean.
The image of Vespucci is unsteady - it remains as elusive as in the Florentine half-light of his youth - but we get to know him so close for the first time.
No matter how little we know about what happened to Vespucci and about his own actions, after reading this book the reader will better understand both the famous Florentine and the era of great geographical discoveries. -

A new book (in two volumes) the famous theorist Yevgeny Sveshnikov wrote in collaboration with international master Vladimir Sveshnikov. The book offers an economical and practical repertoire for fast chess and blitz. The authors have sharply narrowed the circle of their debuts, so that readers can learn the options as deeply as possible and can force their opponents to solve specific problems from the first moves. In the second volume, the debut repertoire is proposed for whites after the most aggressive move - 1.e4! The authors analyze in detail four main Black answers - 1 ... e5, 1 ... c5, 1 ... e6 and 1 ... c6. The principle of choosing the debut variants is exactly the same as in the first volume: to sharply cut down on the opponent the choice of possible extensions, and to study his "own" lines very deeply. That is why, for example, among all open debuts, the authors chose the Viennese party: it comparatively rarely occurs in practice and at the same time requires black specific knowledge. The book is addressed to chess lovers, but it will be interesting for professionals, there are many original analyzes and novelties in it.
