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

一个早期版本的大英帝国： 威尼斯的海权与贸易殖民 今天的威尼斯是旅游胜地。去意大利玩的中国人，大多会去这座传奇的水城坐坐刚朵拉吧。学艺术史的，总绕不过提香、委罗内塞和丁托列托。喜欢西方文学的，大约都知道卡萨诺瓦的风流韵事。对东西方交流感兴趣的，肯定熟悉马可...
评分从中古欧洲来看，作为海洋城邦崛起的威尼斯并非寡例，但优越的地理位置和商人国家制度则确保了它从与热那亚，比萨等同位面的竞争中脱颖而出，取得了最引人注目的持久成功。 地理位置上不难看出威尼斯的优越性，它位于亚得里亚海最深处，背靠广袤的欧陆腹地和多条贸易路线终点，...

评分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。 ...
