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.
羅傑·剋勞利(Roger Crowley),曆史學傢。他齣生於英格蘭,劍橋大學畢業後,曾久居伊斯坦布爾,並對土耳其的曆史産生瞭濃厚的興趣。他花費數年時間廣泛遊曆瞭地中海世界,這使他擁有對地中海的淵博的曆史和地理知識。著有“地中海史詩三部麯”《1453》《海洋帝國》和《財富之城》。
看的地中海三部麯的第二本,Roger Crowley的獨到之處在於用寫小說的手法寫曆史,因而把曆史的探索之旅變得更為生動有趣,特彆是本書精彩還原瞭威尼斯共和國的崛起到衰落的過程。第四次十字軍東徵和攫取君士坦丁堡使得威尼斯開始成為海上霸主,與熱內亞的四次交戰則確立瞭其牢固的海洋霸主地位,然而隨著土耳其奧斯曼帝國的崛起,海洋霸權最終輸給瞭陸地霸權。

評分To the honor and profit of Venice
評分一聲嘆息。//美第奇那書裏屢屢提到威尼斯,這個意大利一片混亂的政局裏唯一的共和國,而且實力強大。而且看過1453之後一直打算看的。。。

读书杂记《财富之城》读后 克劳利的地中海三部曲最后一部《财富之城》读完,总体感觉是一个个历史事件的细节,珠玉在手,事理清楚,但最终要说什么呢?感觉却了点什么。 于是翻看以前看过的《历史讲稿》找到这段时间的历史对着读,这其实是地中海国家衰落的历程,表面上征战厮...
評分历史上对罗马共和国传承的最接近的就算是威尼斯共和国了。执政官是选举产生的,有2000人的议事机构决定共和国大事,有强有力的管理机构,有严明的法令……,看来,也只有威尼斯共和国才能重现罗马昔日的辉煌。但与罗马不同的是,威尼斯不再以武力彰显自己的国力,取而代之的是...
