About This Novel
"Armada" is a wonderful description of the famous naval battle between Britain and Spain in 1588 against the background of the fierce struggle between Catholic and Protestant forces throughout Europe in the 16th century. The author perfectly integrated rich knowledge, superb writing and exquisite layout, making this book still a classic work on this subject. The author combines a wealth of first-hand historical materials and a large number of second-hand works, and skillfully uses them without leaving any trace, so that historical details, academic achievements and the main narrative line are closely integrated. "Ocean and Civilization" retells world history from the perspective of the ocean, revealing how people communicate and interact through oceans, rivers and lakes, as well as exchange and spread goods, products and culture. It aims to reveal that various groups, nations, countries and civilizations shape their own civilizations and history through waterways around the world. The author shows the connection between the rise and fall of civilization and the ocean, narrates the development of human navigation in a fascinating way, and composes an epic about the voyagers.
