About This Novel
Panoramicly reproduce the magnificent Age of Discovery and observe how business changes the global pattern and the direction of civilization. "Silk, Porcelain and Heaven on Earth" trade breaks all geographical, linguistic, religious and political boundaries, allowing Eastern and Western civilizations to meet and integrate, realizing the common ideal of mankind. Marco Polo is the undisputed pioneer of globalization. The author of this book, Lawrence Berglin, carefully studied the hundreds of existing versions of Marco Polo's biography, consulted first-hand historical materials in 6 languages, and personally traced and vividly reproduced Marco Polo's great adventure on the Silk Road, trying to answer people's long-standing questions about Marco Polo and his legendary journey. "Ocean Conquerors and New Sea Routes: Columbus's Four Voyages" The era of maritime civilization has emerged, and the prelude to globalization has slowly begun. Christopher Columbus's voyage across the Atlantic to the Americas and his safe return in 1492 in search of a trade route to the East was a watershed event in world history. It directly promoted world integration. The European trade center moved from the Mediterranean coast to the Atlantic coast, and the world market gradually formed. Ocean voyages and conquests brought wealth and glory, but also concealed terror and murderous intent. Columbus's voyage to discover the American continent established a connection between the New World and the Old World, which greatly promoted the development of capitalism. With the rise of Western maritime civilization, globalization began to slowly unfold, and the politics, economy, and culture of the entire world began to undergo earth-shaking changes. The exploration spirit of "Magellan and the Age of Discovery" leads globalization and completely changes the historical trajectory of mankind. It truly reproduces the complete journey of mankind's first voyage around the world. This is a story about the exploration of the entire earth. It refreshed the Western world's understanding of cosmology and geography, subversively changed the way explorers sailed in the ocean, promoted global economic, trade, and cultural exchanges, and expanded the Maritime Silk Road. The Age of Discovery did not have the beauty and romance imagined by later generations. There was indeed wealth and dreams there, but it was also accompanied by rough seas and endless killing. Compared with that era, human exploration of the world has now extended from land and ocean to space. Aerospace engineering, undersea exploration, and geocentric exploration, the next "Great Age of Navigation" is coming.
