A Century of Discovery: Biographical Sketches of the Portuguese and Spanish Navigators from Prince Henry to Pizarro is a book written by Theodor Vogel that explores the lives of the most prominent explorers from Portugal and Spain during the Age of Discovery.

The explorers featured in the book include Vasco da Gama, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Hern�����n Cort�����s, and many others. The book also discusses the political and economic context of the time, including the rivalry between Portugal and Spain for control of the spice trade and the colonization of the New World.Overall, A Century of Discovery offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of the most important figures in the history of exploration and their impact on the world.
