"The Great Sea – A Human History of the Mediterranean" (2011)

Connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Mediterranean Sea has been for millennia the place where religions, economies, and political systems met, clashed, influenced and absorbed one another.

📚 Si Stefan Zweig ensalzó la "identidad europea" frente a los sentimientos nacionalistas, David Abulafia hizo lo propio acuñando el concepto de "identidad mediterránea".

Hoy a muerto el profesor Abulafia pero su legado le sobrevive.
