Beschreibung

Damascus, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is the central focus of Damascus History. This book explores the city's remarkable journey through millennia, revealing its pivotal role in trade, cultural exchange, and the rise and fall of empires. Intriguingly, Damascus's strategic geographic location made it a coveted prize, attracting powers from the Arameans to Islamic caliphates. Furthermore, its location fostered its emergence as a vital hub connecting East and West, driving economic prosperity and cultural exchange. Damascus History presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the city.

 
The book draws upon archaeological evidence, historical texts, and scholarly research to illuminate Damascus's story. Organized into three major sections, the book begins with the city's ancient origins, explores its golden age under Islamic rule, and examines the challenges it faced in the modern era, including periods of Ottoman rule, French mandate, and contemporary conflicts.

 
The final chapter offers insights into the lessons that Damascus's history can teach us about urban resilience, cultural preservation, and the interconnectedness of human civilization.

Family Lexicon

Natalia Ginzburg, Peg Boyers

An Italian family, sizable, with its routines and rituals, crazes, pet phrases, and stories, doubtful, comical, indispensable, comes to life in the pages of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon. Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war. The Levis are, among other things, unshakeable anti-fascists. That will complicate their lives. 
 
 
 
Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. "Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it]," Ginzburg tells us at the start. "The places, events, and people are all real."
