As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten. But Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire. In an astonishing blitz of thirty years, a handful of visionary and utterly ruthless empire builders, with few resources but breathtaking ambition, attempted to seize the Indian Ocean, destroy Islam and take control of world trade. Told with Roger Crowley's customary skill and verve, this is narrative history at its most vivid - an epic tale of navigation, trade and technology, money and religious zealotry, political diplomacy and espionage, sea battles and shipwrecks, endurance, courage and terrifying brutality. Drawing on extensive first-hand accounts, it brings to life the exploits of an extraordinary band of conquerors - men such as Afonso de Albuquerque, the first European since Alexander the Great to found an Asian empire - who set in motion five hundred years of European colonisation and unleashed the forces of globalisation.

評分 評分能将那段复杂而遥远的历史以如此清晰富有文采的语言进行描述实属不易，虽然不是一部学术著作，但也是一本极优秀的历史读本。作者虽然力图中立，但也有为殖民者粉饰之嫌。如果我们细细去考究全球化、殖民主义初期的历史，虽然叹于葡萄牙、西班牙人的航海勇气，但不应该把这种受...
評分 評分几年前，英国历史学家罗杰·克劳利(Roger Crowley)写完后来被翻译成十多种文字的“地中海史诗三部曲”，收到一封来自读者的电子邮件，这位也住在格罗斯特郡的葡萄牙人希望他再写写葡萄牙。 就像《唐顿庄园》等经典英剧以跌宕起伏著称，克劳利的“地中海史诗三部曲”(《1453》...

Had there been more of the world, would have discovered it. 從未想過，貝倫蛋撻原來融閤瞭世界的味道——肉桂，咖啡，糖
评分1 除瞭自身發展的內在驅動，原來尋找聖約翰王，光大基督聖意也是大航海時代的誘因。2 客觀來說，也加速瞭世界的融閤、發展。3 希望作者能再接再厲，寫一寫葡萄牙帝國的衰落。
