PDF-(EBOOK)-The Mediterranean: And the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (Volume

Like the great sea of which he writes Braudels vision transcends the limits so instinctive to the pigeonholing mind and moves with a force a colour and a depth that carries the study of man beyond its familiar horizonsPerhaps no historical work published since 1945 has received greater acclaim than this book Professor Braudel who acknowledges his own debt to Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch has like them gone far to enrich and enhance our conception of history and to break down the barriers erected by intellectual smallholders in defense of particular specializationsThe focus of the book is the Mediterranean world in the second half of the sixteenth century But the perspective of time stretches back from the age of Philip II to the world of Odysseus and the foreground reaches to the life of our own time The same unconcerned unconfined mastery reveals itself in the treatment of space The Mediterranean is not to be defined in hydrographic terms as a sea or even as a series of seas nor in ecological terms as the area of sea and land that lies between the northernmost date palm and the northernmost olive It reaches across to the Americas for the silver that submerged its price structures down the Red Sea and across Asia for the spices that dominated its trade up to England Germany Holland Russia for grain and wool and ships and men down the West African coast or across the Sahara for slaves and gold and ivoryAnd in considering its history it is not treaties and wars and dynastic marriages that claim our attention but the time it took for a cargo ship to work her way from Alicante to Alexandria how much it cost to send a special courier from Madrid to Paris how people lived and what they lived on what happened in the great cities like Venice Naples or Constantinople when plague or famine or war intensified an already furious struggle for existence Climate landscape diet rhythms of trade the operations of financiers and the hard life of the peasant and the seaman all the rich variety and colour of this most magnetic area of human history have their place in a brilliant mosaic The harmonizing of individual detail with the broad sweep of description and analysis is achieved with mastery The whole work is informed by a sense of the physical presence of the Mediterranean its sun and sea and the characteristic landscape of vine and olive No true lover of the Mediterranean should be without a copy no one seriously interested in Europe and its history could afford to beOne of those books which are recognized as classics from their first publication An excellent English translation by Sian Reynolds beautifully produced His style is marvelously fresh clear and above all alive as living as his subject and the historical philosophy which he brings to it Hugh TrevorRoper Sunday TimesThe painting reproduced on the jacket is Pieter Bruegels BATTLE IN THE GULF OF NAPLES from the Galleria Doria Rome ScalaThe focus of Fernand Braudels great work is the Mediterranean world in the second half of the sixteenth century but Braudel ranges back in history to the world of Odysseus and forward to our time moving out from the Mediterranean area to the New World and other destinations of Mediterranean traders Braudels scope embraces the natural world and material life economics demography politics and diplomacy. . diet.

A Mediterranean diet focuses on plant foods like fruit, vegetables A groundbreaking culinary work of extraordinary depth and scope that spans more than one thousand years of history, A Mediterranean Feast tells the sweeping story of the birth of the venerated and diverse cuisines of the Mediterranean. Author Clifford A. Wright weaves together historical and culinary strands from Moorish Spain to North Africa, from coastal France to the Balearic Islands, from Sicily and the kingdoms of Italy to Greece, the Balkan coast, Turkey, and the Near East.The evolution of these cuisines is not simply the story of farming, herding, and fishing rather, the story encompasses wars and plagues, political intrigue and pirates, the Silk Road and the discovery of the New World, the rise of capitalism and the birth of city-states, the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition, and the obsession with spices. The ebb and flow of empires, the movement of populations from country to city, and religion have all played a determining role in making each of these cuisines unique.In A Mediterranean Feast, Wright also shows how the cuisines of the Mediterranean have been indelibly stamped with the uncompromising geography and climate of the area and a past marked by both unrelenting poverty and outrageous wealth. The book\'s more than five hundred contemporary recipes (which have been adapted for today\'s kitchen) are the end point of centuries of evolution and show the full range of culinary ingenuity and indulgence, from the peasant kitchen to the merchant pantry. They also illustrate the migration of local culinary predilections, tastes for food and methods of preparation carried from home to new lands and back by conquerors, seafarers, soldiers, merchants, and religious pilgrims.A Mediterranean Feast includes fourteen original maps of the contemporary and historical Mediterranean, a guide to the Mediterranean pantry, food products resources, a complete bibliography, and a recipe and general index, in addition to a pronunciation key. An astonishing accomplishment of culinary and historical research and detective work in eight languages, A Mediterranean Feast is required--and intriguing--reading for any cook, armchair or otherwise.
