Overview
The greatest explorer of the Americas, German scientist Alexander von Humboldt, narrates his voyage to New Spain in 1803 as he prepares his magnum opus Cosmos for publication from his library in Berlin. During his journey, he discovers Mexico’s extraordinary biodiversity; its mineral, volcanic, architectural, and pre-Hispanic richness; and its profound inequalities.
