文/吴情 《圣经·旧约·出埃及记》中描绘了犹太人逃离埃及、寻找上帝赐予的“应许之地”(The Promised Land),一块流着奶与蜜的土地的艰难历程。而纵观历史,似乎自《圣经》开始,这一民族的历史就是一部寻找的历史。寻找应许之地,寻找纯粹的民族,寻找兴旺与发达。...
评分本书的作者是以色列著名的专栏作家阿里•沙维特,虽然他现在已是以色列人,但是他的曾祖父赫伯特•本特威原来却生活在安宁、舒适的英国。很多人都会疑惑本特威为什么放弃已有安稳幸福的生活,要选择回到已不再的故土?也许这正是作者一直在寻找的答案,他在《我的应许之地...
评分一本看起来很难释手的书,断断续续看也不妨碍阅读的震撼感。 一本以色列人对于自己民族存在和定位的不断审视,不断修正,不断奋斗的历史,一个个片段其实让人颇有感触。一个饱经风霜和璀璨的民族,奋斗精神,不屈不挠精神为主体是这个民族得以存在在中东是非之地的一个关键因素...
评分很多人也许跟我一样,一开始对犹太教、伊斯兰教,以色列、巴勒斯坦、阿拉伯人傻傻分不清。 首先科普一下都发源于耶路撒冷,影响众多西方世界的三大宗教犹太教,基督教,与伊斯兰教及其分支宗教之间的关系。 三大西方宗教都源于圣经《旧约》。犹太教命中注定漂泊,在《旧约》...
评分文/严杰夫 巴勒斯坦历史学家纳兹米•朱贝曾说道,“在耶路撒冷,不要问我真相的历史……若拿走虚构的故事,耶路撒冷就一无所有了。”这句话放在以色列这个国家身上,似乎也同样适用。 于是,今天的以色列似乎给人一种光怪陆离的印象:对于基督徒或“离散”犹太人来说,以色...

A groundbreaking, ambitious, and authoritative examination of Israel by one of the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East today
My Promised Land tells the story of Israel as it has never been told before. Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today is at a moment of existential crisis. Through revealing stories of significant events and of ordinary individuals—pioneers, immigrants, entrepreneurs, scientists, army generals, peaceniks, settlers, and Palestinians—Israeli journalist Ari Shavit illuminates many of the pivotal moments of the Zionist century that led Israel to where it is today. We meet the youth group leader who recognized the potential of Masada as a powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange grove from his Arab neighbor in the 1920s, and with the Jaffa orange helped to create a booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in developing Israel’s nuclear program; the religious Zionists who started the settler movement. Over an illustrious career that has spanned almost thirty years, Shavit has had rare access to people from across the Israeli political, economic, and social spectrum, and in this ambitious work he tells a riveting story that is both deeply human and of profound historical dimension.
As it examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, My Promised Land asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? And can Israel survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing, both internal and external, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.
如果英语好的话,建议读这一版
评分The author portrays Israel in a fair but fascinating way. It does not have a glorified past, and the future remains full of challenges and hardship. Yet people on this promised land are hopeful. Very good read to get a basic understanding of Israel and Jewish identity. Strongly recommend it.
评分写得最well-paced, 最informative的, 是关于以色列内部, Ashkenazi与Sephardic Jews矛盾的篇章. 信息量充足, 但最终章过于充足导致很难以下咽.
