文/严杰夫 耶路撒冷是世界的中心,这一点对于犹太人、基督徒或者伊斯兰教徒来说,是毫无疑问的常识。不过,对于许多“异邦人”(《旧约》里对非以色列人的统称,后来被基督教引申用来指代所有非信徒)来说,想要理解这一点恐怕就有些困难。 尤其是,当有一天真的站在这座“圣...
评分不晓得那些给五星书评的大大们有没真的读过,又或者只是对着“耶路撒冷”这四个字在那YY矫情。坦率的说,这是一本被翻译的非常糟糕并被过度吹嘘的书。看着那些主体交错,错别字连篇的句子,脑袋里能浮现的就是百度翻译里“Ctrl+C"和”Ctrl+V"的组合。看看译者名头,“XX大学副...
评分 评分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.
对于我这种完全不了解相关历史、信仰的人来说,这是一本看完就忘的流水账... 更希望了解无尽诛罚、繁衍、毁灭和营造背后是怎样的心理和动机,但也许作者意不在此 / 书里的一个意外高频词是 rebrand
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。
评分在新加坡机场闲逛买的 听说简体中文版翻译的差 两本对照起来看。
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
