Mecca: Biography of a Mysterious City
14.99 €
Ancient minarets and ultra-modern skyscrapers, the luxury of shopping malls and the simplicity of pilgrims' clothing - the contrasts of blessed Mecca amaze all who come here. Non-Muslims are forbidden to visit Mecca, so most people will never, under any circumstances, be able to visit it, touch its history and experience the ineffable flavor of this mysterious city. This book will lift the veil of mystery of the sacred city. For the first time in Russian centuries-old history of the mysterious holy city - Mecca. Mecca - forbidden city for non-Muslims, a place where most people will not get, never and under any circumstances. It is a city you can only read about. The book contains unique material translated into Russian for the first time (notes of travelers, scientists, philosophers - both Eastern and Western). You will find in the book many fascinating everyday details (the life of Meccans, their daily routine, hobbies, occupations, pastimes, cuisine, architecture, sources of income, wars and politics, relations with each other and with the outside world). This is not seen or known even by those who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca.
