The Jerusalem Challenge: Journey to the Holy Land
9.99 €
It all starts with a phone call from the Vatican - and in 2022 the famous writer goes on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum, and finally Jerusalem, a city that tests reason and feeling, defies logic, denies any possibility of true understanding. This is where the writer’s eyes open. For the intellectual believer, accustomed to reasoning, fantasizing, questioning and doubting, it is an experience of unimaginable power to face a pure mystical experience that is overwhelming and leaves no room for skepticism.
Revelation turns his life and irreversibly rebuilds the picture of the world. From now on, the story of Jesus is the true and ever-modern drama of a real and ever-living man, and the story of the three major religions that took root in Jerusalem is a constant source of pain and hope.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a world-famous writer, playwright, director and filmmaker, member of the Goncourt Academy and winner of prestigious awards. His books have been translated into fifty languages, and in France are published annually with a total circulation of half a million copies. His plays are played on stages in fifty countries. His novel “Oscar and the Pink Lady” changed the lives of many readers – along with the Bible, “The Little Prince” and “The Three Musketeers”. After the book “Night of Fire”, in which Schmitt described the revelation he experienced in the African desert, in “The Trial of Jerusalem”, he returns to his origins and embarks on a journey through the Holy Land – a country that is imbued with the spiritual experience of many generations and generously shares it with anyone who has courage and openness. And Schmitt is sincerely and generously sharing with us.
