Exploring the origins of the compass, this narrative delves into ancient China, where a mysterious lodestone was first recognized for its unique ability to point north. The story unfolds through time, highlighting the significance of this discovery in feng shui and its eventual evolution in twelfth-century Amalfi, Italy. This pivotal moment marked the rise of Italian maritime dominance and the dawn of modern navigation. Aczel weaves an engaging tale that uncovers the rich history and impact of the compass on exploration and the world.
