In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman Empire at the height of its power, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of Rhodes. This would prove to be the opening shot in an epic struggle between rival empires and faiths for control of the Mediterranean and the center of the world.

In Empires of the Sea , acclaimed historian Roger Crowley has written his most mesmerizing work to date–a thrilling account of this brutal decades-long battle between Christendom and Islam for the soul of Europe, a fast-paced tale of spiraling intensity that ranges from Istanbul to the Gates of Gibraltar and features a cast of extraordinary characters: Barbarossa, “The King of Evil,” the pirate who terrified Europe; the risk-taking Emperor Charles V; the Knights of St. John, the last crusading order after the passing of the Templars; the messianic Pope Pius V; and the brilliant Christian admiral Don Juan of Austria.

This struggle’s brutal climax came between 1565 and 1571, seven years that witnessed a fight to the finish decided in a series of bloody set pieces: the epic siege of Malta, in which a tiny band of Christian defenders defied the might of the Ottoman army; the savage battle for Cyprus; and the apocalyptic last-ditch defense of southern Europe at Lepanto–one of the single most shocking days in world history. At the close of this cataclysmic naval encounter, the carnage was so great that the victors could barely sail away “because of the countless corpses floating in the sea.” Lepanto fixed the frontiers of the Mediterranean world that we know today.

Roger Crowley conjures up a wild cast of pirates, crusaders, and religious warriors struggling for supremacy and survival in a tale of slavery and galley warfare, desperate bravery and utter brutality, technology and Inca gold. Empires of the Sea is page-turning narrative history at its best–a story of extraordinary color and incident, rich in detail, full of surprises, and backed by a wealth of eyewitness accounts. It provides a crucial context for our own clash of civilizations.

荒诞与强权从来没有让人类失去信仰,反倒成就了人类的信仰本身,从旧神到新神,从旧世界到新规则,人类之所信仰以此从未枯竭。因为渺小,人类无法不为身边的变化而慨叹,因为平凡,人类从未放弃对美好的留恋。正是人们对生命意义的追求赋予了生命在宇宙虚无中的独特尊严,不论是破浪远征的英雄,还是运筹帷幄的政客,亦或依偎踌伫的妇人。在真诚的生活之中人类无法可循,也没有道貌岸然的先知先觉,真正的独立感恰恰是源于继承性,它使人们并不会无休止的放纵并在不可自拔的虚无中感觉到自负和愉悦。

五百年前两大巨头的博弈,由罗德岛到马耳他再到勒班陀,大航海时代的经典战役,接着作者前作的《君士坦丁堡之战》食用效果更佳。
