The Boundless Sea | David Abulafia | Paperback
Impuestos incluidos
David Abulafia’s expansive history follows people across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, tracing the relationships made possible by travel on water. Merchants, navigators, migrants and conquerors share a story in which sea routes connect distant societies and repeatedly reshape them.
Moving from early voyaging to modern ports and container shipping, the book examines exchange in its many forms: commerce and knowledge, settlement and exploitation. Its wide geographical range makes it a substantial foundation for anyone building a maritime history library. Readers interested in a particular ship, trading port or painted harbour will find a wider setting here, with the ocean understood as a place of human activity rather than a blank space between countries.
