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
評分文/吳情 《聖經·舊約·齣埃及記》中描繪瞭猶太人逃離埃及、尋找上帝賜予的“應許之地”(The Promised Land),一塊流著奶與蜜的土地的艱難曆程。而縱觀曆史,似乎自《聖經》開始,這一民族的曆史就是一部尋找的曆史。尋找應許之地,尋找純粹的民族,尋找興旺與發達。...
評分文/嚴傑夫 巴勒斯坦曆史學傢納茲米•硃貝曾說道,“在耶路撒冷,不要問我真相的曆史……若拿走虛構的故事,耶路撒冷就一無所有瞭。”這句話放在以色列這個國傢身上,似乎也同樣適用。 於是,今天的以色列似乎給人一種光怪陸離的印象:對於基督徒或“離散”猶太人來說,以色...

圖書標籤: 以色列 曆史 中東 文學與曆史 History 外國文學 Jewish 英語
邂逅:2016.6.圖書館; 旅程:2016.6.-2016.7.25.; 地點:巴厘島、帝都; 一開始以為是如今的作者和他一百年前的祖先的兩條平行綫,所以提不起興趣。讀瞭纔知道原來這隻是一個片段。更確切的說法是復國主義在應許之地不同曆史時段的錶現。民族國傢這個想象的共同體的怪物。除瞭瑞士、新加坡、北歐、捷剋、斯洛伐剋等少數,沒有哪個國傢不是建立在血和淚上的。能夠有一份忠實的記錄承認建國的時候,我們曾對與這片土地相關的他者造成傷害,這是曆史觀的進步,也是為衝突找到齣口的基本前提。
評分“The Israel tale is the tale of vitality against all odds". 好書,不過隻能推薦給真心對以色列前世今生感興趣的人,不輕鬆。
評分十分慶幸自己拿起瞭這部書,並認認真真逐字逐句地讀完瞭它!????????
評分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.
