"Cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de longues années de travail par le chercheur Nourredine Abdi. Après son décès, à l'initiative de son épouse, son texte, écrit à des périodes diverses, a été relu et harmonisé. Pour ce livre, on s'est efforcé de servir au mieux le propos, le style et le ton particulier adoptés par l'auteur dans son écriture afin de faire exister cet ouvrage d'une façon qui, on l'espère, lui aurait convenu. Ce livre, œuvre posthume par conséquent, tenait particulièrement à cœur à Nourredine Abdi car il traite d'un sujet au centre de sa réflexion et de ses recherches, la Méditerranée occidentale. Il a été enrichi par un récit autobiographique sur l'engagement politique et syndical de l'auteur. Au regard de l'actualité concernant l'Algérie et de la complexe relation qui lie ce pays à la France, cet ouvrage offre un éclairage érudit et personnel que le lecteur trouvera grand plaisir à découvrir."--Page 4 of cover.

This title is "Sunday Times" History Book of the Year. For over three thousand years, the Mediterranean Sea has been one of the great centres of world civilisation. From the time of historical Troy until the middle of the nineteenth century, human activity here decisively shaped much of the course of world history. David Abulafia's "The Great Sea" is the first complete history of the Mediterranean from the erection of the mysterious temples on Malta around 3500 BC to the recent reinvention of the Mediterranean's shores as a tourist destination. Part of the argument of Abulafia's book is that the great port cities - Alexandria, Trieste and Salonika and many others - prospered in part because of their ability to allow many different people, religions and identities to co-exist within sometimes very confined spaces. He also brilliantly populates his history with identifiable individuals whose lives illustrate with great immediacy the wider developments he is describing. "The Great Sea" ranges stupendously across time and the whole extraordinary space of the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Jaffa, Venice to Alexandria. Rather than imposing a false unity on the sea and the teeming human activity it has sustained, the book emphasises diversity - ethnic, linguistic, religious and political. Anyone who reads it will leave it with their understanding of those societies and their histories enormously enriched.

The late-medieval Mediterranean world was dominated by half a dozen powerful empires, yet the conflict between the kings of Aragon-Catalonia and the counts of Anjou-Provence, which this book describes, involved the fates of the whole of the Mediterranean and shaped the history of Western Europe.

A pioneering account of the dynastic struggle between the kings of Aragon and the Angevin kings of Naples, which shaped the commercial as well as the political map of the Mediterranean and had a profound effect on the futures of Spain, France, Italy and Sicily. David Abulafia does it full justice, reclaiming from undeserved neglect one of the formative themes in the history of the Middle Ages.

This book presents an archaeological overview of the presence and development of Egyptian material culture in the context of Augustan Rome. The Augustan period was a crucial turning point for the urban landscape of Rome, which became specifically characterised by a complex, and often flexible repertoire of cultural diversity. Studies in the past have focused primarily on (classical) Greek influences on the development of Augustan material culture, while objects featuring Egyptian styles, themes and materials have remained generally categorised as exoticism, a fashion trend, or signs of so-called 'Egyptomania'. The research presented and discussed in this book, in contrast, raises the question whether and how 'Egypt' constituted an integral part of this Augustan material culture repertoire. By comprising for the first time a comprehensive and interpretative overview of such manifestations of Egypt in Rome, including public monuments, paintings, and architectural elements, as well as pottery, gems, and jewellery from private contexts, the study offers wide-ranging case studies, featuring object reappraisals as well as new archaeological finds and contextual analyses. By focusing on the archaeological data, rather than on the often better-known historical and textual sources, this books offers new arguments and evidence that the role of 'Egypt', as represented in the material culture of the city of Rome, was not that of an exotic outsider, but constituted a remarkably diverse and inherent part of the Augustan material culture repertoire and urban landscape.
