Jerusalem in 3000 YearsNachum Tim GidalGebundene AusgabeJerusalem, a subject for photographers since the camera was invented, is a beautiful city with an intense history of complex struggles. It is both modern, with American-style malls in the western part, and ancient, with a labyrinthine Old City that is an alluring mix of middle eastern smells, sights and sounds. It is a holy place for three of the world's major religions, and yet often seems a center of fanaticism, not holiness. Even the 3000th anniversary celebration in 1996, commemorating the biblical conquest by King David, serves as a political statement, claiming the city as irrevocably Jewish. This collection of photographs ranging from the state visit of Kaiser Wilhelm, to battle pictures taken during the 1967 war, to scenes of daily life today, offers a pictorial history. |
Israel: Triumph of the SpiritDelilah ShapiroGebundene AusgabeRich with stories and experiences passed down through the generations, < I> Israel: Triumph of the Spirit is a celebratory recital of this great nation on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, in 1998. Delilah Shapiro's book documents Israel's past and present in a series of artfully gathered photographs of Israeli life and its surroundings, and through compact yet lucid prose. The strange contrasts of coexistent faiths, ancient architecture, busy city streets, deserts, and fertile lands "flowing with milk and honey" are exquisitely portrayed on every page. This is a nation whose past is bound up in the history of humanity itself. Shapiro's book is a lasting testament to Israel and all its peoples. < I>-Courtenay Kehn |
