实在是一本非常失败的书。既然知道除了上帝,没有人可以管理耶路撒冷,那么,写这个神圣之城却采集一切世俗观点而抛弃上帝的视角。这个作者是真蠢还是装的? 后砖一样,资料罗列很整齐,但解读太差,我只能说:丰富的知识不代表丰富的智慧。记得那句话吧:敬畏上帝是智慧的开端
评分 评分读《耶路撒冷三千年》源于探究西方历史的好奇心。上学时读余秋雨的《文化苦旅》和《文明的碎片》,多年过后那些散文、故事基本都忘得一干二净了,但当时的一个感悟却顽强地“存活”了下来:宗教对西方文明的传承和保留起着至关重要的作用。我甚至认为:与中国周而复始地“快速...

Jerusalem is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, fanaticism, bloodshed, and coexistence, from King David to the 21st century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the “center of the world” and now the key to peace in the Middle East? In a gripping 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 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 world of Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern times of the Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Rasputin, Lawrence of Arabia and Moshe Dayan.
In this masterful narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore brings the holy city to life and draws on the latest scholarship, his own family history, and a lifetime of study to show that the story of Jerusalem is truly the story of the world.
Visited 2 yrs ago. Finally to know the city. The holiness of the city is just in the mind and spirit. The biography is full of blood. Quite sad and hopeless city, I might say. Very excellent book, short & precise in words to cover 3k yrs in 600pages. Bravo book!
评分終於啃完了這部關於聖城的鉅作.... 耶路撒冷,三大宗教聖地,結尾處關於不同宗教信仰的人在聖城同一地點不同時間舉行各自的宗教儀式,簡直就是讓人對這個世界又充滿的莫名的期許.歷史上那些殘酷的殺戮,曠日持久的戰爭,泯滅人性的種族屠殺,不都是因為想要獨占的貪婪.一座城的歷史,如此的多彩斑斕....想要去旅行,終點是耶路撒冷!
