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

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...
评分 评分 评分难以想象如今的著名旅游城市曾经如此辉煌。 这是一个海洋霸权输给陆地霸权,分散的商人共和利益和体制输给高效的中央集权的军事体制,分裂内讧的基督教,输给以信仰为生的伊斯兰教的故事。 简单记录一下这个我之前完全不知道的盛极一时、控制整个欧亚非三洲商业的海洋帝国的...
评分一点读书的笔记: “利益与荣耀”是威尼斯殖民视野亘古不变的主线。威尼斯沿用了拜占庭的税收制度,管理则反映着威尼斯自身的形象。是欧洲第一次发展、扩张殖民的经验,用海上霸权维系各个殖民地,对殖民地人民的福祉大体上漠不关心,高度中央集权,对殖民地经济剥削,是未来...
