耶路撒冷三千年 | Jerusalem: The Biography by Simon Sebag Montefiore

《耶路撒冷三千年》美国前总统克林顿2011年年度选书，基辛格视若珍宝的经典巨作。读《耶路撒冷三千年》，了解真实的耶路撒冷，就会明白世界为何演变成今天的模样。

耶路撒冷曾被视为世界的中心，是基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教三大宗教的圣地，是文明冲突的战略要冲，是让世人魂牵梦绕的去处，是惑人的阴谋、虚构的网络传说和二十四小时新闻发生的地方。

Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today’s clash of civilizations. 

From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel–Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of 3,000 years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence.How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the ‘centre of the world’ and now the key to peace in the Middle East? 

In a dazzling 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 – kings, empresses, prophets, poets, saints, conquerors and whores – 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 city of Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern times of the Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Rasputin and Lawrence of Arabia.
