Voyages to the "Spice Islands"
The spice trade as a point of departure for European penetration into Asia
Anna Unali
In order to describe the role played by spices during the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Age, the author Anna Unali focuses on the reports written by merchants, travellers, geographers and government officials. Their voices emerge powerfully and incisively in any recreation of this topic as the most important interpretative elements.
