Jerusalem is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, fanaticism, bloodshed, and coexistence, from King David to the 21st century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
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 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.
In this masterful narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore brings the holy city to life and draws on the latest scholarship, his own family history, and a lifetime of study to show that the story of Jerusalem is truly the story of the world.
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...
评分这书,盛名之下,其实难读。 时间顺序记史,有点像资治通鉴。 不过读起来,没有资治通鉴有趣。 读到1200年时,便实在读不下去了。 完全是混乱的历史呀。 难以理解那种虔诚的宗教观。 满篇的欺诈与战争,血与泪…… 屠杀,屠杀,屠杀…… 建议作者出个精简版。对绝大多数来说,...
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...

太精彩!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
评分終於啃完了這部關於聖城的鉅作.... 耶路撒冷,三大宗教聖地,結尾處關於不同宗教信仰的人在聖城同一地點不同時間舉行各自的宗教儀式,簡直就是讓人對這個世界又充滿的莫名的期許.歷史上那些殘酷的殺戮,曠日持久的戰爭,泯滅人性的種族屠殺,不都是因為想要獨占的貪婪.一座城的歷史,如此的多彩斑斕....想要去旅行,終點是耶路撒冷!
