Crowley’s popular histories—this is his fourth—pivot around power politics of the Mediterranean Sea, circa 1453 (2005). Venice is the player this lively narrative focuses on, specifically during the three centuries, from 1200 to 1500, in which it was at the apex of its sway over maritime trade. Accenting the city-state’s mercantile spirit, Crowley supports his narrative of the period’s numerous naval wars with explanations of the commerce they were fought to command. Acquiring an imperial archipelago in the process of serving as spice broker between Europe and Asia, Venice reached around Greece to Constantinople and as far as southern Russia. Anchored by fortresses, linked by galleys, Venice’s commercial empire faced challenges from Mongols, Genoa, and Ottoman Turks, and the diplomatic and military means by which Venice addressed those threats provide the most vivid passages and personalities in Crowley’s account. Had Vittorio Pisano not defeated Genoa in 1380, Venice might not be the tourist attraction of today. A deft writer, Crowley renders the Venetian part in late medieval times interesting indeed to history buffs

評分2015年初的时候,我本没有对威尼斯抱太大期望,仅安排了两天行程,蜻蜓点水掠过。然而威尼斯给了我惊喜。这是一座精致典雅的水城, 相比起中国的周庄那些水乡,又多了一些历史的厚重。但夕阳西下,落日余晖映在水面浸染万物金黄色。在这张桀骜不驯的照片中,我老婆笑我成了铜人。 ...
評分走马观花的去过两天威尼斯,在写这个书评的时候把游记翻出来重看了一遍,想起很多旅游的细节,但是照片则丢失在多年前的一个上网本里。刚刚读完这本书,对比游记又有了些收获,比如在维罗纳看到的十字旗想必是热那亚的旗帜,那场模拟的战争也就显得更make sense了,又比如看到l...
