Description & Specifications

For more than four thousand years, the Mediterranean has been the center of Western civilization. Geographically, it is a whole world in miniature. Historically, it served as the meeting point of the cultures of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the battlefield of tribes and nations, and the focal point of three major religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

David Abulafia, the "dean" of Mediterranean studies, has gathered a team of top experts from various countries to tell this fascinating and complex story in a cohesive narrative: from the natural environment, prehistoric traders, and the struggle between the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Etruscans, which culminated in the victory of the Romans, to the nations after Rome, the Christian powers in the south, the dominance of England and France, and finally to the 20th century, a century characterized by both wars and mass tourism.

This new book not only covers all recorded history but also reflects the findings of modern research, using tools that range from linguistics to underwater archaeology, in order to expand the boundaries of our knowledge.
