The Venetian Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Great Maritime Empire. 1000–1503

Venice is a city with almost no land. Everything necessary for life had to be imported by sea, which for its inhabitants was protection and destiny. And the Venetians, born traders, created a magnificent maritime empire that changed the world. English scholar Roger Crowley tells the story of the rise of this empire, built on a unique system of islands, ports, and strategic bastions. This is the story of a republic that the Crusades gave a chance to emerge on the world stage, a story of courage and duplicity, of luck, perseverance, enterprise and occasional disaster, a story that proved the ability of a small maritime power to have global influence.
