Neither Christopher Columbus nor his contemporaries thought the earth was flat. Yet this curious illusion persists today, firmly established with the help of the media, textbooks, teachers - even noted historians. Inventing the Flat Earth is Russell's attempt to set the record straight. He begins with a discussion of geographical knowledge in the Middle Ages, examining what Columbus and his contemporaries acutally did believe, and then moves to a look at how the error was first propagated in the 1820s and 1830s and then "snowballed" to outrageous proportions by the late 19th century. But perhaps the most intriguing focus of the book is the reason why we allow this error to persist. Do we prefer to languish in a comfortable and familiar error rather than exert the effort necessary to discover the truth? This uncomfortable question is engagingly answered

Littérateurs, historiens, penseurs sociaux, hagiographes ou détracteurs ont présenté, parfois créé peut-être le personnage de l’initiateur d’un monde nouveau, saint ou aventurier rapace, « restaurateur de l’esclavage » ou « rassembleur de la terre de Dieu », fondateur ou destructeur de la société moderne. Ainsi s’est-il établi un modèle d’action, positif ou négatif Et le mythe, né de l’histoire, a d’autant plus aisément eu prise sur elle qu’il a contribué à l’engendrer, qu’une vision mystique de sa vocation a pu guider Colomb lui-même, le « porte-Christ », dans sa grande entreprise. Il a pu être à la fois savant, mathématicien et illuminé. Le but de ce recueil est de montrer, non le visage du personnage historique, mais celui que lui a donné l’imaginaire collectif.
