A history of the trade that controlled the world and left an indelible impression on our taste buds; a sweeping story of avarice, ingenuity and exploration, spanning the globe and the centuries in its epic reconstruction of this magnificent obsession. Spices: for centuries the staple of cuisine, remedies and ritual, they have commanded the highest of prices. To this day, saffron is, per ounce, one of the most expensive commodities known to man. For their sake, fortunes have been made and lost, empires built and destroyed, and new worlds discovered. Astoundingly, in the 17th-century more people died for the sake of cloves than in all the European dynastic wars of the period. However the spice trade dates bank thousands of years before this. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs depict a merchant fleet sailing south to the Horn of Africa and returning triumphantly with a priceless cargo of cinnamon. Only the story of mankind's infatuation with precious metals can rival the story of spice in scope; and only the history of silver and gold rivals that of spice for its improbable and extraordinary combination of discovery and conquest, heroism and savagery, greed and violence.

评分胡椒、丁香、桂皮、肉豆蔻……这些是我们日常用到的调味品。它们在我们的需求品中占比卑微,甚至感觉不到它们的存在(至少对很少进厨房的人来说)。而事实上这些不起眼的香料在近现代之前可是非常的珍贵。于谦诗句:“胡椒八百斛,千载遗腥臊”,胡椒的价值堪比黄金。香料在人类历...
评分 评分如果大家不是因为对大航海时代着迷和感兴趣,我想没有什么耐心会看完。 一句话,翻译太烂。 评价力荐是因为书里还是有很多亮点和好的思维方式。没有考虑翻译。 凑字数,豆瓣说我的评论太短了。 凑字数,豆瓣说我的评论太短了。 凑字数,豆瓣说我的评论太短了。 凑字数,豆瓣说...
