图书描述

In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman Empire at the height of its power, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of Rhodes. This would prove to be the opening shot in an epic struggle between rival empires and faiths for control of the Mediterranean and the center of the world.

In Empires of the Sea , acclaimed historian Roger Crowley has written his most mesmerizing work to date–a thrilling account of this brutal decades-long battle between Christendom and Islam for the soul of Europe, a fast-paced tale of spiraling intensity that ranges from Istanbul to the Gates of Gibraltar and features a cast of extraordinary characters: Barbarossa, “The King of Evil,” the pirate who terrified Europe; the risk-taking Emperor Charles V; the Knights of St. John, the last crusading order after the passing of the Templars; the messianic Pope Pius V; and the brilliant Christian admiral Don Juan of Austria.

This struggle’s brutal climax came between 1565 and 1571, seven years that witnessed a fight to the finish decided in a series of bloody set pieces: the epic siege of Malta, in which a tiny band of Christian defenders defied the might of the Ottoman army; the savage battle for Cyprus; and the apocalyptic last-ditch defense of southern Europe at Lepanto–one of the single most shocking days in world history. At the close of this cataclysmic naval encounter, the carnage was so great that the victors could barely sail away “because of the countless corpses floating in the sea.” Lepanto fixed the frontiers of the Mediterranean world that we know today.

Roger Crowley conjures up a wild cast of pirates, crusaders, and religious warriors struggling for supremacy and survival in a tale of slavery and galley warfare, desperate bravery and utter brutality, technology and Inca gold. Empires of the Sea is page-turning narrative history at its best–a story of extraordinary color and incident, rich in detail, full of surprises, and backed by a wealth of eyewitness accounts. It provides a crucial context for our own clash of civilizations.

用户评价

评分

很详尽的16世纪地中海战史。欧洲的动态力量均衡还是维持的很好,哈布斯堡王朝这样的巨型存在也是被各种力量遏制着,即使南美洲的金银再多也是填入战争的无底洞。对战争双方,战争过程的描写引人入胜。遗憾是对各势力缺乏内部的经济/政治分析。通过本书,对医院骑士团、教宗、马耳他、罗德岛、伊斯坦堡、塞浦路斯、马布里、威尼斯等地的历史多了一个角度的理解。

“THE TREATY OF 1580 RECOGNIZED a stalemate between two empires and two worlds. From this moment, the diagonal frontier that ran the length of the Mediterranean between Istanbul and the Gates of Gibraltar hardened. ”

假设一下:如果没有美洲的金银给西班牙输血,突厥人的旗帜是否会插遍地中海岸?现在的世界将会是什么样子?另外有个疑惑,勒班陀海战的主力舰还都是桨帆船,不以风为主要动力;仅仅十几年后的无敌舰队,却因为风向不利而不得不绕过整个不列颠,几乎全军覆没?看来是需要补一补海军史了。
