From the time of Troy until the middle of the nineteenth century, human activity on and around the sea has decisively shaped much of the course of world history. David Abulafta s The Great Sea is the first complete history of what has happened on and immediately around the Mediterranean, from the erection of the mysterious temples on Malta around 3500 ВС to the recent reinvention of the Mediterraneans shores as a tourist destination. The focus of the book is on places and individuals, showing the degree to which human beings have aflccted this extraordinary environment. Abulafia describes the teeming port cities that have been particularly influential or representative during particular periods — cities such as Amalfi, Alexandria, Venice, Trieste and Salonika — which he argues have prospered because of their ability to allow many different peoples, religions and identities to co-exist, sometimes within very confined spaces, right up to the twentieth century. He also brilliantly populates the book with identifiable individuals whose lives illustrate with great immediacy the wider developments he is describing — Muslim and Jewish pilgrims heading east from Spain in the twelfth century AD, a deluded Messiah in seventeenth-century Smyrna, as well as the kings of Norman Sicily, Ottoman sultans and naval commanders from Britain, France and Tsarist Russia. The Great Sea ranges stupendously across time and the whole extraordinary space of the Mediterranean, from Gibraltar to Jaffa, Genoa to Tunis. Rather than imposing a false unity on the sea and the human activity it has sustained, the book emphasizes diversity - ethnic, linguistic, religious and political - and traces how it became probably the most vigorous place of interaction between different societies on the face of the planet . Readers will leave it with their understanding of those societies, their histories and their connections enormously enriched. £30.00 L * David Abulafia is Professor of Mediterranean History at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, and was until recently Chairman of the Cambridge History Faculty. His previous books include Frederick ¡I and The Discovery of Mankind. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and a member of the Academia Europaea, and in 2003 he was made Commendatore dell Ordine della Stella della solidarietà italiana in recognition of his work on Italian and Mediterranean history.
