差评不是因为原著而是因为因为翻译太差了。一看就是导师挂名,底下研究生粗制滥造的成品。硬着头皮读下来。翻译的汉语毫无美感完全就是流水账。尽管如此,我对耶路撒冷还是充满向往。耶路撒冷的疯狂,有很大一部分不就是末日审判来临时,葬在圣殿山的首先复活的断言么?犹太人...
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...
评分能够让三种宗教信仰的人视为圣城,而且魂牵梦绕、顶礼膜拜、痛哭流涕、浴血奋战的,恐怕只有耶鲁撒冷了。这座一直存在于央视新闻频道中的城市,从我第一次知道她起,就充满着战火和硝烟,或者是刺杀与仇恨。如果说出最能代表着做城市的几个人,在我印象里可能是阿拉法特和沙龙...

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.
A metropolis history fragmented till now.
评分我不行了到1840年了就这样吧剩的一两百年下次再说,anyway我主要是想读三个宗教开宗立派以及十字军东征(虽然six days war应该也很有意思????)。作者想讲的太多太繁杂,有时候文法就没那么讲究了,不够优雅,加上调节气氛的那些黄暴anecdote,整本书整个城市在翻来覆去你来我往的打打杀杀中,失去了历史宏大感。But this is a hard story to tell...and if it’s a biography, I guess the full timeline matters.
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。
评分跳读,“ Well, if I cannot read a book, I will write one” 作者道,配合bbc the holy city 服用,疗效好。# 然而还是得去看点小清新无脑韩剧来缓缓压
评分2000年掐架史,作者对战争尤其是杀戮场有格外的偏好,大篇幅重口味描写
