SPAIN Unconfirmed Report

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Colin McLaren.
It is 1942. The Harvard historian Samuel Eliot
Morison, author of Christopher Columbus
Admiral of the Ocean Sea, ponders a manuscript attributed to Luis de Torres , a converted Spanish Jew, who sailed with Columbus as his interpreter on his first voyage. Luis's story has striking resonances for modern times. Is it only a curiosity? Or can it be believed?
Authentic music arranged and performed by Philippa Davies Producer Louis Purslow
