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.

剛剛讀完,說實在的作為第一版這個翻譯可以瞭,有些錯字比如把1891寫成1981之類的,應該怪後期校對不認真,畢竟這麼厚一本書,譯者有些差錯也不能苛責,雖然譯文略帶匠氣,但是並不影響理解,有些說翻譯垃圾的,真的可以去讀讀第一版的耶路撒冷三韆年,試試那個力度
評分地理學上有一個優美的理論,叫“分形理論”,它說在空中拍攝的100公裏長的海岸綫與放大瞭的10公裏長的海岸綫的兩張照片,看上去會十分相似,也叫自相似理論。以色列這樣一個年輕的國度,它的建國史其實就是其他所有國傢建國史的一個縮影。我非常佩服像阿裏•沙維特這樣能站在...
評分 評分很多人也許跟我一樣,一開始對猶太教、伊斯蘭教,以色列、巴勒斯坦、阿拉伯人傻傻分不清。 首先科普一下都發源於耶路撒冷,影響眾多西方世界的三大宗教猶太教,基督教,與伊斯蘭教及其分支宗教之間的關係。 三大西方宗教都源於聖經《舊約》。猶太教命中注定漂泊,在《舊約》...
評分以下書摘: " 這本書不隻是以色列崛起故事,而是以色列崛起、墮落、矛盾、狂歡、悲情、迷茫混雜的故事。" "我對國傢未來的深切恐懼與我對國傢占領政策的道德義憤密切相關。一方麵,以色列是唯一一個實施占領政策的西方國傢;另一方麵,以色列又是唯一一個切實受到威脅的西方國...
圖書標籤: 以色列 曆史 中東 文學與曆史 History 外國文學 Jewish 英語
寫得最well-paced, 最informative的, 是關於以色列內部, Ashkenazi與Sephardic Jews矛盾的篇章. 信息量充足, 但最終章過於充足導緻很難以下咽.
評分看完原書,決定把譯本打分改成一星。
評分自從公司開瞭以色列辦公室之後對這神奇的國度充滿著好奇。無解的地緣政治曆史問題,造就瞭獨特的人群和文化。極度的危機感激發瞭無限的生産創造力,福兮,禍兮。
評分對於我這個對猶太人曆史一點也不清楚的人來說這本書解瞭我許久的睏惑。作者以本族人的身份自我剖析,冷靜深入。精神上被連根拔起其實不僅是當今猶太人的問題,也是現代社會的普遍縮影。歸根到底還是覺得有個身份認同纔能讓自己找到歸屬感,找到在這個世界的位置。猶太人可以說是神奇而又耿直的一個群體瞭。佩服作者也佩服這個民族。
評分如果英語好的話,建議讀這一版
