Showing results for "Jerusalem" in Travel & Tourism

This extraordinary book is the result of Saul Bellow’s sojourn in Israel in 1975. A personal record of his stay—his experiences and impressions—as well as a meditation, it crackles with wit and controversy on America’s relationship with this embattled country.

Hvem vil ikke til Jerusalem? Navnet har magnetiske valører, en egen tyngdekraft. Hva er det med denne byen, beliggende på ufruktbar jord mellom tørre klipper og under en nådeløs sol, som trekker mennesker - troende og ikke-troende - til seg? Jerusalem ligger ikke nær elv eller hav, har aldri hatt noen viktig handelsvei eller vesentlige mineralforekomster, ei heller har byen spilt noen strategisk betydning i det Kipling kalte "Det store spillet", stormaktenes rivalisering om land og folk.

Part travel journal but mostly spiritual guide, Finding Jesus in Israel takes an unvarnished look at the Holy Land with an off-the-bus peek into the people and places that make Israel such an amazing destination. We are shaped and transformed by the oceans we sail, the deserts, mountains, and valleys we wander, and the people we meet along the way. And as any traveler worth his salt knows, the real trip happens within.
