Description
xA captivating historical work, City of Fortune tells the story of Venice's rise from lagoon dweller to the greatest power in the Mediterranean—an epic journey spanning five hundred years, encompassing Crusades and trade, plague, naval battles, and colonial adventures. In Venice, the path to empire unfolded through a series of extraordinary battles—the sack of Constantinople in 1204, a fight to the finish with Genoa, and a desperate defense against the Turks. Under the banner of the Lion of St. Mark, it created an empire of ports and naval bases that moved the world's goods across its docks. In the process, the city became the richest land on earth—a magnificent mosaic forged from what it bought, traded, borrowed, and stole. Based on firsthand accounts of trade and war, of the sea and piracy, and of the places where Venetians sailed and died, City of Fortune offers narrative history at its finest. Beginning on Ascension Day in the year 1000 and ending with an explosion off the coast of Greece—and the devastating news that the Portuguese were pioneers in forging a sea route to India—the novel will fascinate anyone who loves Venice and the Mediterranean world.
