Jerusalem. All Faces of the Great City

A sacred crossroads of cultures and religions, a city where the fates of the entire world intertwine. «No other city has influenced the fate of humanity as strongly and deeply as Jerusalem,» says Maria Kichia.
A book about what it really... is — the city of David, the city of Jesus, the city of the Ottomans, the city of the Romans, rabbis, Byzantine, Islamic, the city of crusaders, — in a word, the greatest of cities?! We are about to embark on a remarkable journey through all layers of history, through its boundless culture that seems to have united the ununifiable. Epochs of dawns, sunsets, and even complete oblivion, dying and miraculous resurrection! Jerusalem has experienced so much — dazzling, mysterious, the cradle of the world's wisdom.
Maria Kichia is the author of the books «Mecca. Biography of a Mysterious City», «Istanbul. Crossroads of Epochs, Religions, and Cultures», «Dynasties. How Power is Structured in Modern Arab Monarchies», «Afghanistan. The True Story of a Legendary Country». She is fluent in Turkish, Armenian, English, Italian, Arabic, and Hebrew. For many years, she has traveled through the Middle East and neighboring regions, studying local history and culture.
