Unveiling the Rediscovered Islands (2)

The chapter about the Canary Islands is nearly over. It is titled "The Rediscovered Islands". The extract has endured a complete renewal by contrast with the previous version uploaded several years ago. 

"The Rediscovered Islands" comprises six parts:

a. The Priority of Discovery, which tells the tale of rediscovery

b. The People Behind the Scenes introduces the Guanches, the

native settlers

c. The Norman Conquest focuses on the private enterprise of Messier Jean de Bethencourt

d. The Royal Conquest elaborates on the final subjugation of the islands 
e. The Sugar Islands switches to the production of sugar

I'm working on the last part, the Reassessment, where I will tell the story in a nutshell, in a more prosaic way and excluding some details. 

The chapter will stay unpublished for two main reasons: I need to leave it for a while to make a better reassessment (in terms of style, cohesion, etc.) and I will think about publication opportunities. 

My plans include a continuation of the current project. According to the initial plan, there should be extracts on Madeira and the quest for the Rio d'oro (the River of Gold). These topics also belong to the theme called "The Little Age of Discovery": the onset of the oceanic exploration from the close of the thirteenth century to the end of the fourteenth century.
