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.

读后感

这是一本以细节取胜的历史书 这本书我倒是蛮喜欢的,它是我读过的第一本与麦哲伦有关的书,我第一次看到“麦哲伦环球航行”的细节,以及这七个字的沉重与艰辛。 而这本书就胜在细节,暂且不论对与错(我读书少,没法评说)。这本书主要是主要来自安东尼奥·皮加费塔的记录,再...

这本书详细介绍了人类历史上第一次环球探险的麦哲伦船队的各种经历。 作为葡萄牙人,麦哲伦率领着西班牙船队环球探险的最大威胁,居然是西班牙船长的叛乱,而麦哲伦在印尼群岛,为传播基督教而对当地人发动攻击中被打死,但丝毫不影响麦哲伦成为第一个环球探险的荣耀。 麦哲伦...

人类历史上发生过无数事件,其中一些获得了超越性的意义,成为后人回顾历史的坐标。这些事件,不会随着时间的流逝而自然湮灭,并且因为同期事件的消失,受到人们更多的关注,在后世投下巨大的影子。但是,历史实在太漫长了,即便是这些事件,也仅是其中的一个个小点。对于大部...

本书是一本通俗历史类读物,虽然作者利用了一些一手历史资料(主要是皮加费塔日记),也亲自重走了麦哲伦海峡,但总体的写作手法仍是小说类,而不是严肃的史学著作。副标题中的“转动人类历史”也就成了一个文学性的称赞,而不是有充分事实支撑的论点,至于主标题“黄金、香料与...

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...
