Synopsis
"This is an essential book for those who wish to understand a city that remains a nexus of world affairs." -- Booklist (starred) Jerusalem is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, fanaticism, bloodshed, and coexistence, from King David to the 21st century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict. How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the "center of the world" and now the key to peace in the Middle East? In a gripping narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city in its many incarnations, bringing every epoch and character blazingly to life. Jerusalem's biography is told through the wars, love affairs, and revelations of the men and women who created, destroyed, chronicled and believed in Jerusalem. As well as the many ordinary Jerusalemites who have left their mark on the city, its cast varies from Solomon, Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent to Cleopatra, Caligula and Churchill; from Abraham to Jesus and Muhammad; from the ancient world of Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern times of the Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Rasputin, Lawrence of Arabia and Moshe Dayan. In this masterful narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore brings the holy city to life and draws on the latest scholarship, his own family history, and a lifetime of study to show that the story of Jerusalem is truly the story of the world. A New York Times Notable Book Jewish Book Council Book of the Year, FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED FOR 2024 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL BOOK OF THE YEAR "Spectacular. [Montefiore] really tells you what the life of the city has been like and why it means so much. You fall in love with the city. It's a treasure. It's a wonderful book." --Bill Clinton "Impossible to put down. . . . Vastly enjoyable." -- The New York Times Book Review The history of Jerusalem is the story of the world: Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths. The Holy City and Holy Land are the battlefields for today's multifaceted conflicts and, for believers, the setting for Judgment Day and the Apocalypse. How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the "center of the world" and now the key to peace in the Middle East? Why is the Holy Land so important not just to the region and its many new players, but to the wider world too? Drawing on new archives and a lifetime's study, Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city and turbulent region through the wars, love affairs and revelations of the kings, empresses, amirs, sultans, caliphs, presidents, autocrats, imperialists and warlords, poets, prophets, saints and rabbis who created, destroyed, chronicled, and believed in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. A classic of modern literature, this is not only the epic story of 3,000 years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism, co-existence, power and myth, but also a freshly updated, carefully balanced history of the Middle East, from King David to the new powers of the twenty-first century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is how today's Middle East was forged, how the Holy Land became sacred and how Jerusalem became Jerusalem--the only city that exists twice--in heaven and on earth. "Magnificent. . . . Montefiore barely misses a trick or a character intaking us through the city's story with compelling, breathless tension." -- The Wall Street Journal, FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED FOR 2024 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK * JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL BOOK OF THE YEAR "Spectacular.

    Very pleased with this purchase! Happy to have the extra copies of the out-of-print, older versions of this grammar curriculum. The workbooks were a great value with FREE shipping, as well! Liberal use of packing tape to reinforce seams is recommended, as the box did arrive split open on one end due to the sheer heaviness of the books and the rough handling during shipment. Thankfully, no books were lost, and they arrived in nice, clean condition, as described. Seller is highly recommended!!

    Communication was prompt and courteous; they even confirmed my preferred delivery date. The listing’s 12 high-resolution photos and precise grading (“Like New/Very Fine”) spared me the usual secondhand-book guessing game. Already eyeing their 19th-century poetry collection. A flawless ★★★★★ experience! This transaction wasn’t just about buying a book – it was a lesson in how eCommerce should operate. Their pricing, while fair
