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.
Roger Crowley read English at Cambridge. He has had a varied career as a teacher and publisher and is the author of three books on the history of the Mediterranean. He lives in Gloucestershire and now writes full time. His website address is www.rogercrowley.co.uk

評分喜歡足球的朋友應該知道一句話:歐洲無弱旅,此話用在1500年後的歐洲也適用。以《地中海三部麯》齣名的英國曆史學傢Crawley的新作,講述瞭偏居歐洲西南一隅的葡萄牙率歐洲之先探索並徵服非洲、印度洋、馬六甲海峽的故事。在東羅馬帝國陷落後,伊斯蘭世界構成基督教世界的極大威脅,就在此時,蕞爾小國葡萄牙突然拔起,避開地中海,繞非洲而超伊斯蘭的後路,他們在印度西岸打入,鋒芒直逼紅海。包括曼努爾在內的三代國王,以踏平馬木留剋帝國、蕩寇伊斯蘭、收復耶路撒冷進而成為歐洲的王中王為藍圖,大力投資海上探險,在一百多年的時間內,建立瞭歐洲中世紀後第一個全球帝國!現在,葡萄牙衰落成歐洲病夫,而就在1500年的時間,她竟然是歐洲的前鋒和船頭!
評分The sea with limits may be Greek or Roman; the sea without end is Portuguese. Knowledge is power and wealth.

几年前,英国历史学家罗杰·克劳利(Roger Crowley)写完后来被翻译成十多种文字的“地中海史诗三部曲”,收到一封来自读者的电子邮件,这位也住在格罗斯特郡的葡萄牙人希望他再写写葡萄牙。 就像《唐顿庄园》等经典英剧以跌宕起伏著称,克劳利的“地中海史诗三部曲”(《1453》...
評分 評分 評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...
