520 1 $a"The Spice Route spans three millennia and circles the world to chronicle the history of the spice trade. John Keay tells of ancient Egyptians who pioneered maritime trade to fetch the incense of Arabia; Graeco-Roman navigators who found their way to India for pepper and ginger; Columbus, who sailed west for spices; de Gama, who sailed east for them; and Magellan, who sailed across the Pacific on the exact same quest. A veritable spice race evolved as the West vied for control of the spice-producing islands, stripping them of their innocence and the spice trade of its mystique. This saga, progressing from the voyages of the ancients to the blue-water trade that came to prevail by the seventeenth century, transports us from the dawn of history to the ends of the earth."--BOOK JACKET.
