Jerusalem. All the Faces of the Great City
19.99 €
What is Jerusalem? It is the ancient city that has had the greatest impact on human history. It is the "one and indivisible" capital of Israel, divided by fences and checkpoints, where 40% of the population does not have Israeli citizenship and does not associate itself with the state in which they live. It is the only capital whose legal status is still undefined and contested. It is the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict, one of the most violent and longest-running in history. It is a shrine that promises pilgrims heavenly grace and mental illness. It is a place where people have prayed for peace for centuries - but rarely get it.Why has Jerusalem become this way? Why has blood been shed for the "city of peace" for 5,000 years? How do politicians use historical narratives to justify their claims to Jerusalem? Why did a small settlement lost in the Judean Mountains become the center of the earth? All of this is the subject of this book.
