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.

評分雜但還算有序。內容廣泛,需要有一定的曆史背景,作者很少會對一些曆史事件作齣闡述。
“地中海史”可谓是有很多种寓意啊。 《伟大的海》这本书是一部地中海海洋的历史,不是关于周围陆地的历史,是一部穿行于大海之上,居住在沿海港口和海上诸岛之民族的历史。本书作者是英国作家大卫·阿布拉菲亚所著,这本书的主题是探求地中海在不同的程度被整合为单一的商贸、...
評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...
評分 評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)、“...
