这本书或许原版写得特别精彩吧,反正这个假期这本书上了各大网站的推荐书单,而且清一色好评。可是这本书翻译很差有没有!每一句读起来都格外生涩,根本就是直译,毫无走心好伐。我觉得不值那50多块钱!因为翻译毁了这本书!
评分耶路撒冷的历史是整个世界的历史,它同时也是犹地亚山间一座长年贫瘠的小镇的编年史。耶路撒冷曾被视为世界的中心,而今它比以往任何时候都要名副其实:这座城市是亚伯拉罕系宗教之间斗争的焦点,是越来越受欢迎的基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教基本教义派的圣地,是不同文明冲突的...
评分即使在世俗的中国读者的眼中,耶路撒冷也是有着神圣光辉的。虽不信,敬远之。 初读时,觉得讲述耶路撒冷的历史,从传说到现代,即便是一本像砖头一样的书,也显得太短。从每一章节后备注的诸多的注释,似乎都能再引申出一本书的故事。 书读过半,便已觉得书中中太多的人,太...

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 three thousand years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence.
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—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 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.
Drawing on new archives, current scholarship, his own family papers and a lifetime’s study, Montefiore illuminates the essence of sanctity and mysticism, identity and empire in a unique chronicle of the city that many believe will be the setting for the Apocalypse. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice—in heaven and on earth.

评分邂逅:2016.1.图书馆; 旅程:2016.3.10.-2016.4.16.; 地点:坡; 虽然很厚,但每章都很简短,读来也就不那么吃力。头一次了解罗马帝国时代耶路撒冷和罗马,基督教与犹太教的相爱相杀。但毕竟要讲三千年的历史,感觉历史纵深与每一个切面的细致展开是一个trade off。我的阅读体验也就在冗繁无聊与刺激有料间徘徊。
评分明年春节以色列行行前阅读。读了个开头,已经被公元前中东近东的血雨腥风来来去去搞得晕头转向了噗。//基本一个月的时间刷完。前三分之二非常精彩,漫漫历史长卷上人来人往,好不热闹。19世纪开始稍冗长无聊,幸好20世纪又精彩了起来。结合三千年历史,才能意识到1947年以色列建国这件事的重要性,而且远远不是必然,是各种时势与偶然因素的结合。阿拉伯人从一开始就各种内斗作死,作到20世纪把巴勒斯坦几乎作没了。另外一点是看起来20世纪初犹太和阿拉伯领袖基本都是温和派,越接近20世纪末极端势力越强大。
评分刚到手,不知道怎样。封面大大的写着, national bestseller... 还好吧,畅销书都一个样。
