图书描述

The astonishing tale of the first sea voyage to circumnavigate the entire globe. Magellan's dramatic maritime expedition in 1519 discovered the straits that enabled Europe to trade with the Eastern spice islands and changed the course of history. In an era of intense commercial rivalry between Spain and Portugal, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator sailed to explore the undiscovered parts of the world and claim them for the Spanish crown in one of the largest and best-equipped expeditions ever mounted in the Age of Discovery. Yet of the fleet of five vessels under his command, only Victoria was to return to Spain after three harrowing years, her captain murdered, more than two hundred of her sailors dead from scurvy, torture, execution and drowning, and a small, ravaged crew that survived to tell the extraordinarily dramatic story. What emerged was a tale of mutiny, of orgies on distant shores, of claims of cannibalism, of death and disease, of missionary zeal and base cruelty, and of incredible discoveries: the earth was indeed round, the Americas were not part of India, the earth was covered mainly by oceans, and a new route that allowed Europe access to the fantastic wealth of the Eastern spice islands. Indeed, despite the devastating loss of life and vessels, the Victoria sailed back laden with enough cloves and other spices for the expedition to be considered a remarkable financial success. Accomplished despite the fact that European mariners were exploring a world that was unmapped and misunderstood, where superstition held sway and there were real fears that you could literally sail over the edge of the world, that sea monsters lurked in the briny depths, or that if you passed the equator, the ocean would boil and scald you to death, this was a truly spectacular achievement. The shockingly explicit diaries of Antonio Pigafetta reveal much of the story. This is a many-layered book -- a voyage into history, a tour of the world as it was emerging from the Middle Ages into the Renaissance, an anthropological account of exotic tribes and a chronicle of a desperate grab for political and commercial power. It is also a gripping adventure story, compelling and full of suspense and drama.

读后感

评分

本书是一本通俗历史类读物,虽然作者利用了一些一手历史资料(主要是皮加费塔日记),也亲自重走了麦哲伦海峡,但总体的写作手法仍是小说类,而不是严肃的史学著作。副标题中的“转动人类历史”也就成了一个文学性的称赞,而不是有充分事实支撑的论点,至于主标题“黄金、香料与...

感谢大家提出的宝贵意见。作为出版人,我们非常重视每位的意见。对于大家在书评中提到的几处有争议的地方,现贴出原文供大家讨论。 1. 2.26页 人们对麦哲伦的母亲阿尔达·德·梅斯基塔(Alda de Mesquita)知之甚少,坊间流传着很多有趣的猜测。“梅斯基塔”在葡萄牙语中的含义...

这是一次怀抱壮阔的旅行,让年近四十、身负战伤的麦哲伦放手最后一搏,宁可背叛祖国葡萄牙、投入敌国西班牙的怀抱,也要在有生之年完成环球航行、找到香料之岛。 这是一次前途晦暗的旅行,没有人真心站在英雄的这边。 对西班牙来说,麦哲伦是一颗弃子,一笔划算的买卖。此事成...

三星半 看封面和装帧,会以为自己拿到手里的是一本盗版书。幸而读起来很快就被内容吸引了。故事并不复杂,葡萄牙破落贵族麦哲伦多年不受葡萄牙国王重视,为了达成自己寻找香料群岛的梦想,只能背弃祖国,宣誓效忠支持自己远洋计划的西班牙国王。只会书面西班牙语的麦哲伦就这样...
