Krátky popis
The town of Bethlehem carries so many layers of meaning--some
ancient, some mythical, some religious--that it feels like an
unreal city, even to the people who call it home. Today, the city
is hemmed in by a wall and surrounded by forty-one Israeli
settlements and hostile settlers and soldiers. The population is
undergoing such enormous strains it is close to falling apart.Any
town with an eleven-thousand-year history has to be robust, but
Bethlehem may soon go the way of Salonica or Constantinople: the
physical site might survive, but the long thread winding back to
the ancient past will have snapped, and the city risks losing
everything that makes it unique. Still, for many, Bethlehem remains
the ",little town", of the Christmas song. Nicholas Blincoe will
tell the history of the famous little town, through the visceral
experience of living there, taking readers through its stone
streets and desert wadis, its monasteries, aqueducts and orchards,
showing the city from every angle and era.Inevitably, a portrait of
Bethlehem will shed light on one of the world's most intractable
political problems. Bethlehem is a much-loved Palestinian city, a
source of pride and wealth but also a beacon of co-existence in a
region where hopelessness, poverty and violence has become the
norm. Bethlehem could light the way to a better future, but if the
city is lost then the chances of an end to the Israel-Palestine
conflict will be lost with it.
