Jerusalem. Biography
29.99 €
What was the size of the real Jerusalem at the time of King David? Why did the Arabs call the city Elijah? How did the "Valley of the Sons of Ennom" become the infamous "Gehenna of Fire"? Who ordered his statue to be placed in the Temple of the Lord? How did the Tower of Babel really look like? Why did Gogol, after his pilgrimage to the holy places, write: "I tell you that I have never been so little satisfied with the state of my heart as I was in Jerusalem and after Jerusalem"? And, after all, why was this small city, lost among the hills of Judea, destined to become the "center of the world"? Montefiore traces the history of Jerusalem from King David to the present day, skillfully weaving facts and myths, recent research and events from ancient legends, magazine columns and sacred texts into his story. Legendary generals, brutal rulers, fearless prophets, and majestic empires will all converge on the narrow streets of this marvelous city to decide the fate of the world.
