Download or read book The Sugar Merchant written by James Hutson-Wiley and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hutson-Wiley's debut, a sweeping portrait of 11th-century commerce, follows an English orphan who becomes a wealthy merchant trading sugar throughout the Mediterranean. Thomas Woodward is eight when Flemish mercenaries murder his family; an Eynsham monk finds him in the woods and brings him to his abbey, where Thomas is educated to be an intellectual and merchant, and also trained in self-defense in order to spy for the Catholic church. He is dispatched to Muslim countries, working under the guise of a sugar merchant, while seeking knowledge of closely guarded advances in Muslim medicine and agriculture; he travels extensively, but homes in on Alexandria and Cairo, centers of trade and learning. Thomas is highly successful in business, partnering with Assad and Jusuf (Muslim and Jewish, respectively) in the burgeoning sugar trade. Hutson-Wiley highlights the partners' kinship and mutual respect for each other's faith in conversations and when dealing with business decisions. Though the narrative hits some dull spots in passages about merchandise, trade, and currency calculations that lack the tension of the opening, the story inevitably leads to Thomas's revelations about love and loss, the meaning of life, and the emptiness of wealth in moments of despair. This complex and fascinating portrait of medieval life will appeal to history devotees. (BookLife).

Download or read book Amsterdam s Sephardic Merchants and the Atlantic Sugar Trade in the Seventeenth Century written by Yda Schreuder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the role of Amsterdam’s Sephardic merchants in the westward expansion of sugar production and trade in the seventeenth-century Atlantic. It offers an historical-geographic perspective, linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a network of merchants of the “Portuguese Nation,” conducting trade from the Iberian Peninsula and Brazil. Examining the “Myth of the Dutch,” the “Sephardic Moment,” and the impact of the British Navigation Acts, Yda Schreuder focuses attention on Barbados and Jamaica and demonstrates how Amsterdam remained Europe’s primary sugar refining center through most of the seventeenth century and how Sephardic merchants played a significant role in sustaining the sugar trade.
