具体描述
As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten. But Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire. In an astonishing blitz of thirty years, a handful of visionary and utterly ruthless empire builders, with few resources but breathtaking ambition, attempted to seize the Indian Ocean, destroy Islam and take control of world trade. Told with Roger Crowley's customary skill and verve, this is narrative history at its most vivid - an epic tale of navigation, trade and technology, money and religious zealotry, political diplomacy and espionage, sea battles and shipwrecks, endurance, courage and terrifying brutality. Drawing on extensive first-hand accounts, it brings to life the exploits of an extraordinary band of conquerors - men such as Afonso de Albuquerque, the first European since Alexander the Great to found an Asian empire - who set in motion five hundred years of European colonisation and unleashed the forces of globalisation.

评分蕞尔小邦葡萄牙的崛起，并非出了几个了不得的天才帝王。事实上，即使是来了个秦皇汉武，在遥远的印度，他的政策能起到多少作用，也是一个大大的问号。同样，也并非天降武曲，迪亚士，达伽马，阿尔梅达，阿尔布开克，他们固然为葡国开疆拓土居功至伟，但充其量也就是一个执行者...
评分文/严杰夫 2016年，葡萄牙男子足球队在第十五届欧洲杯上夺冠，这一结果令人吃惊。毕竟随着黄金一代老去，除去克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多这个巨星，葡萄牙足球队其他球员大多名不见经传。但这支不起眼的队伍却让葡萄牙足球第一次登上了欧罗巴的巅峰。 事实上，不仅足球，在历史上，...
评分最近家里事特别多，每天晚上都要准备第二天的蔬菜，加上kindle出入都要消毒有点麻烦，所以看书看得很慢。一点一点，终于又把这本《征服者：葡萄牙帝国崛起》看完了，依旧是罗杰克劳利的作品。这本书主要是讲了葡萄牙地理大发现，撮尔小国葡萄牙处于欧洲西端边缘，贫穷落后，但...
