Anthony Sherley (1565-1633) was one of three brothers from a Sussex gentry family, whose adventures abroad fascinated their contemporaries. Their doings were celebrated and exaggerated in printed pamphlets and a play on the London stage, but are scarcely known today. Anthony was a soldier fighting in France and the Netherlands, and then an unsuccessful privateer, before his patron, the earl of Essex, chose him to lead a group on a mission to Ferrara, which proved abortive. Sherley then undertook on his own initiative to take his followers on a highly risky journey across Turkey to Persia. He hoped to persuade the Shah to ally with the West against their mutual enemy, Ottoman Turkey. Surprisingly, Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1629) approved the plan, and sent Sherley back to Europe as his ambassador.

But after that things went badly wrong. Essex lost all influence at court, and was eventually executed for treason. Sherley was refused permission to return to England. He was on his own, and had to find new ways of living and earning. After various episodes in Venice and Morocco he ended up in the pay of Spain, and was chosen to command a fleet created to stop pirates from attacking Spanish possessions. After the failure of this project he was forced to retire to Granada, and lived the rest of his life on a meagre royal pension. But he continued trying to give advice, based on his past experiences, to the king of Spain and his ministers.

The book will concentrate on Sherley’s career, but will broaden the theme by including chapters on his father and his two brothers, and in particular on Persia and Shah Abbas, the Persian king whom he met. Anthony was an irascible, complex character, often derided and disliked. This biography is more sympathetic than previous ones, and discusses his self-fashioning and his belief in his personal honour, both of which might account for some of his misdemeanours, especially after the death of his patron.

中文| 2021年12月22日|国际标准图书编号：1399007424 | 184页|真正的EPUB | 11.42 MB 安东尼·舍利（1565-1633）是苏塞克斯贵族家庭的三兄弟之一，他的海外冒险让他们的同龄人着迷。他们的行为在印刷的小册子和伦敦舞台上的戏剧中得到了庆祝和夸大，但今天却鲜为人知。安东尼是一名在法国和荷兰作战的士兵，然后是一名不成功的私掠船，直到他的赞助人埃塞克斯伯爵选择他率领一个小组前往费拉拉执行任务，但最终失败了。舍利随后主动带领他的追随者踏上了穿越土耳其前往波斯的高风险之旅。他希望说服沙阿与西方结盟，对抗他们的共同敌人奥斯曼土耳其。令人惊讶的是，沙阿·阿巴斯大帝（1587-1629）批准了该计划，并派谢利回欧洲担任大使。 但在那之后，事情变得非常糟糕。埃塞克斯在法庭上失去了所有影响力，最终因叛国罪被处决。谢利被拒绝返回英国。他只能靠自己，必须找到新的生活和收入方式。在威尼斯和摩洛哥经历了多次事件后，他最终被西班牙收买，并被选中指挥一支为阻止海盗袭击西班牙领土而创建的舰队。这个项目失败后，他被迫退休到格拉纳达，靠微薄的皇家养老金度过余生。但他继续试图根据过去的经验向西班牙国王和他的大臣们提供建议。 这本书将专注于谢利的职业生涯，但将通过包括关于他的父亲和两个兄弟的章节来拓宽主题，特别是关于波斯和他遇到的波斯国王沙阿·阿巴斯的章节。安东尼是个脾气暴躁、性格复杂的人，经常被嘲笑和讨厌。这本传记比以前的传记更具同情心，讨论了他的自我塑造和对个人荣誉的信仰，这两者都可能解释他的一些不端行为，尤其是在他的赞助人去世后。
