内容简介
······
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.

评论 ······
读了两个半月搞定。后面三分之一读的不太细，19世纪以后有些囫囵吞枣。写法属于一成不变地编年纪事，魅力完全来自于作者的文笔。
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!
三千年的编年体八卦集
虽然费了大力气才读完，但总算把文艺复兴前的欧洲历史串起来了。Jerusalem的命运，总是由千里之外的大国博弈决定，古今皆然。
