Over the Edge of the World 在线电子书 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.

Over the Edge of the World 在线电子书 读后感

今天是作业截止日期,但笔记还没梳理完…只能先把一些小想法暂时罗列一下。 1.本来以为只是一部关于麦哲伦船队环球航行的叙述史,看完才知道这是一个血肉丰满的航海故事。作者从地理大发现前的“地理”故事开始,延伸出很多枝蔓,把我之前零散的欧洲史知识通过航海的视角串联了...

原本我没有打算写片书评,因为我对这本书的大量时间都用来写笔记。对于地理大发现这类题材一直是我的最爱,因为他们跟我们现在的生活可以说都是息息相关的,单单从香料的需求和供给,以及为什么西方人对香料如此的惜爱,通过前因推后果,再反过来如此几次,就会发现这本书讲的...
