圖書描述

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.

用戶評價

評分☆☆☆☆☆

十五世紀末，外界人曾試圖解讀威尼斯的意義所在，卻發現這裏已經不能和他們已知的世界相提並論。威尼斯自成一派，在某種意義上說，是第一個停留在抽象基礎上的現金的帝國：它用一種新的英雄取代瞭中世紀的騎士：商人。幾個世紀裏，成韆上萬威尼斯的商人走上瞭舞颱，但海上帝國總是飄忽不定，和財富之城的商業相仿，注定變化無常。港口得到瞭又失去，軍號、船艦和槍炮的喧囂終究隻是海市蜃樓。從繁榮到衰落，不是威尼斯人不夠努力，抑或他們做錯瞭什麼。隻是世界，畢竟不同瞭。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

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☆☆☆☆☆

五百年興衰其興也勃焉其亡也忽焉最後一章的總結很準確商業立國注定瞭不得久遠可是誰又能說衡量存在的標準就一定得是遺跡與殘垣？威尼斯開創的商業模式經荷蘭與英國一路傳承並發揚光大又何嘗不是某種意義上更曆久彌新的存在？
