图书描述

The rise and fall of the Venetian empire stands unrivaled for drama, intrigue, and sheer opulent majesty. In City of Fortune, Roger Crowley, acclaimed historian and New York Times bestselling author of Empires of the Sea, applies his narrative skill to chronicling the astounding five-hundred-year voyage of Venice to the pinnacle of power.

Tracing the full arc of the Venetian imperial saga for the first time, City of Fortune is framed around two of the great collisions of world history: the ill-fated Fourth Crusade, which culminated in the sacking of Constantinople and the carve-up of the Byzantine Empire in 1204, and the Ottoman-Venetian War of 1499–1503, which saw the Ottoman Turks supplant the Venetians as the preeminent naval power in the Mediterranean. In between were three centuries of Venetian maritime dominance—years of plunder and plague, conquest and piracy—during which a tiny city of “lagoon dwellers” grew into the richest place on earth.

Drawing on firsthand accounts of pitched sea battles, skillful negotiations, and diplomatic maneuvers, Crowley paints a vivid picture of this avaricious, enterprising people and the bountiful lands that came under their dominion. Defiant of emperors, indifferent to popes, the Venetians saw themselves as reluctant freebooters, compelled to take to the open seas “because we cannot live otherwise and know not how except by trade.” From the opening of the spice routes to the clash between Christianity and Islam, Venice played a leading role in the defining conflicts of its time—the reverberations of which are still being felt today. Only an author with Roger Crowley’s deep knowledge of post-Crusade history could put these iconic events into their proper context.

Epic in scope, magisterial in its understanding of the period, City of Fortune is narrative history at its most engrossing.

评分☆☆☆☆☆

看的地中海三部曲的第二本，Roger Crowley的独到之处在于用写小说的手法写历史，因而把历史的探索之旅变得更为生动有趣，特别是本书精彩还原了威尼斯共和国的崛起到衰落的过程。第四次十字军东征和攫取君士坦丁堡使得威尼斯开始成为海上霸主，与热内亚的四次交战则确立了其牢固的海洋霸主地位，然而随着土耳其奥斯曼帝国的崛起，海洋霸权最终输给了陆地霸权。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

十五世纪末，外界人曾试图解读威尼斯的意义所在，却发现这里已经不能和他们已知的世界相提并论。威尼斯自成一派，在某种意义上说，是第一个停留在抽象基础上的现金的帝国：它用一种新的英雄取代了中世纪的骑士：商人。几个世纪里，成千上万威尼斯的商人走上了舞台，但海上帝国总是飘忽不定，和财富之城的商业相仿，注定变化无常。港口得到了又失去，军号、船舰和枪炮的喧嚣终究只是海市蜃楼。从繁荣到衰落，不是威尼斯人不够努力，抑或他们做错了什么。只是世界，毕竟不同了。
