The Great Sea: A Human History of the Mediterranean Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Presented by Penguin.

For over three thousand years, the MEDITERRANEAN AND BEYOND has been one of the great centres of civilization. David Abulafia’s THE FANTASTIC Sea is the initial complete history of the Mediterranean, from the erection of temples on Malta around 3500 BC to modern tourism. Varying across time and the whole extraordinary space from the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Jaffa, Genoa to Tunis, and bringing alive pilgrims, pirates, sultans and naval commanders, this is the story of the ocean that has designed much of world history.
