Sea and Man – A Different History of the Middle Ages

Farmers and knights shape our image of the Middle Ages, and when we think of medieval seafaring, we envision bulky Hanseatic cog ships and swift Viking longships. But what did people actually know about the sea itself and its creatures? What benefits did they derive from its resources? Historian Nikolas Jaspert writes the first history of the Middle Ages from the perspective of the sea: he tells of fishing and whaling, of trade in elegant shell silk, fragrant amber, and imperial purple. Above all, his book is about the treasures of the sea, their breathtaking beauty and diversity.

By describing an entire epoch of human history through the lens of the sea's creatures and materials for the first time, Jaspert compellingly illustrates that our survival as a species depends significantly on this ecosystem.
