财富之城

Hacker News 上怎么说

• jmacd · 2024 年

  ……11月/12月，因为那时的氛围跟一年中游人如织的时候截然不同。当地人会告诉你现在一年到头人都多，但淡季依然魅力不减。去之前我读了《财富之城》（City of Fortune）[1]，对威尼斯历史做个宏观了解，读起来非常引人入胜，基本涵盖了威尼斯历史的绝大部分时期。我还读到了几篇 Ioanna Iordanou 写的文章。我很想……

  …November/December as the atmosphere is very different from the more crowded times of year. Locals will tell you it's busy all year round now, but low season still has a lot of appeal. Before visiting I ready City of Fortune [1] for a high level overview of Venetian history and it is a truly enthralling read that covers most of Venice's timeline. I also came across several articles by Ioanna Iordanou. I would be interested…

  荐书：我非常喜欢《财富之城：威尼斯如何称霸海洋》（City of Fortune: How Venice Ruled the Seas），读完才知道威尼斯最核心的优势就是掌控了丝绸之路的大部分贸易，直到 1498 年被达伽马彻底断了生路。链接：https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812980220/

  Book tip: I really enjoyed reading "City of Fortune: How Venice Ruled the Seas", which taught me that the main thing Venice had going for it was controlling much of the Silk Road trade until Vasco da Gama doomed it in 1498. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812980220/

  ……扎拉（Zara），导致整支十字军被逐出教会，最终将整支部队引向君士坦丁堡，并在 1204 年洗劫了该城，用拉丁帝国取代了原政权。我觉得罗杰·克劳利（Roger Crowley）写的《财富之城》（City of Fortune）非常好看，整场十字军东征的过程简直荒诞至极。威尼斯为了促成这事儿，连着好几年把整套经济体系全部用来给十字军造船。

  …Zara, getting the entire Crusade excommunicated, and ultimately diverting the entire force to Constantinople where they sacked the city in 1204 and replaced the government with the Latin Empire. I found City of Fortune by Roger Crowley to be a very entertaining read, the full story of the Crusade is absurd. Venice completely dedicated its entire economy to producing the Crusade’s ships for years to make this happen.

  我刚读完《财富之城》（City of Fortune，http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400068207/ref=pe_180000_31...），这个解释更接近真相——奥斯曼帝国的崛起，以及惨败之后基督教欧洲根本组织不起来……

  I just finished reading City of Fortune (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400068207/ref=pe_180000_31...), and this is closer to the truth - the rise of the Ottomans, the fact that Christian Europe couldn't get its act together after the debacle…

  ……严重过度简化了。拜占庭人算不上是威尼斯人的死敌。整件事其实相当诡异，如果我没记错的话，罗杰·克劳利在《财富之城：威尼斯海洋帝国的兴衰》（City of Fortune: How Venice Won and Lost a Naval Empire）里把导致这一切的始末讲得相当精彩。

  …gross oversimplification. The Byzantines were not exactly rivals of the Venetians. The whole thing was quite bizarre in fact, Roger Crowley has a pretty good story of the events leading up to this in "City of Fortune: How Venice Won and Lost a Naval Empire" if I'm not mistaken.
