For over three thousand years, the Mediterranean Sea has been one of the great centres of civilization. David Abulafia's The Great Sea is the first complete history of the Mediterranean, from the erection of temples on Malta around 3500 BC to modern tourism. Ranging across time and the whole extraordinary space of the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Jaffa, Genoa to Tunis, and bringing to life pilgrims, pirates, sultans and naval commanders, this is the story of the sea that has shaped much of world history.

I immersed myself in this erudite and lengthy history and learnt a lot about the end and flow of historical tide right into the present day.

Incredibly interesting history of the Mediterranean. It starts in pre-history and comes right up to modern times. I learned a lot about the history and tensions in the region, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration was just fine.

Fascinating

This book was a challenge for me because there is so much detail and so many names to try and register.
I got a bit anxious about my ability to cope with it all but when I started to relax I loved it.
What did continually strike me was how well read it is. If it was a challenge to me as a listener how much of a challenge to the narrator - Brilliant job by him.
Fascinating story and I am left in awe of
the scholarship. I was a bit daunted by
the book but I really loved it and will
go on to listen to The Boundless Sea.

Daunted then Delighted.

A magisterial history of the Mediterranean – very learned, informative and entertaining.

However, it was a pity that they couldn’t find a better reader. His voice is portentous and overdramatic, and his acting training clearly didn’t teach him the importance of pronouncing words properly. If a word is unfamiliar, look it up or find out. There is a reason why ‘golf’ is spelled differently from ‘gulf’ & they aren’t pronounced the same.

Terrific book - poor reader
