For over three thousand years, the Mediterranean Sea has been one of the great centres of world civilisation. From the time of historical Troy until the middle of the nineteenth century, human activity here decisively shaped much of the course of world history. David Abulafia's "The Great Sea" is the first complete history of the Mediterranean from the erection of the mysterious temples on Malta around 3500 BC to the recent reinvention of the Mediterranean's shores as a tourist destination. Part of the argument of Abulafia's book is that the great port cities - Alexandria, Trieste and Salonika and many others - prospered in part because of their ability to allow many different people, religions and identities to co-exist within sometimes very confined spaces. He also brilliantly populates his history with identifiable individuals whose lives illustrate with great immediacy the wider developments he is describing. "The Great Sea" ranges stupendously across time and the whole extraordinary space of the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Jaffa, Venice to Alexandria. Rather than imposing a false unity on the sea and the teeming human activity it has sustained, the book emphasises diversity - ethnic, linguistic, religious and political. Anyone who reads it will leave it with their understanding of those societies and their histories enormously enriched.
David Samuel Harvard Abulafia is a British historian with a particular interest in Italy, Spain and the rest of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
His published works include Frederick II, The Mediterranean in History, Italy in the central Middle Ages, The Discovery of Mankind: Atlantic encounters in the age of Columbus and The Great Sea: a human history of the Mediterranean.

除了四大洋,在全世界的海中,地中海并不以绝对面积之最见长。面积最大的海这顶桂冠属于珊瑚海,它的面积是479.1万平方千米;而地中海虽然东西长达4000千米,南北最宽处约有1800千米,但它的面积仅有251.2万平方千米,仅为珊瑚海面积的一半稍多,按面积排名于世界上十大海里边...
评分 评分学术界对于陆地文明的研究,可谓汗牛充栋,毕竟,东方多个陆地强国的历史,演绎出无数的兴衰沉浮。相比之下,对于海洋文明的研究,无论是方法论,还是视野、阐发乃至叙述,都布满了重重挑战,比如地中海的古希腊文明。这不仅因为海洋文明的历时变迁迅疾强烈,而且还因为海洋文...
评分远在亚洲东部的我们,可能很难想象这片海域的意义。地中海,地处欧洲、非洲和亚洲大陆,是名副其实的陆地中的海洋。这里有过一派祥和的你来我往,也有过惨绝人寰生灵涂炭;这里是古代文明的发祥地之一,也充当过杀戮机器的试验场。从来都不缺乏关于地中海的著作,它们或专注于...
评分有一个四分钟看懂世界史的视频,以时间为序,介绍各国、各民族的版图更替。倘将视线集中于地中海沿岸,颇有目不暇接之感。此地离人类文明的发源地不远,又居微妙的联结位置,有“你方唱罢我登场”的紧凑感,也不由让人重新审视历来人们对它的称呼:“我们的海”(罗马人)、“...
