Product Description
by G. K. Chesterton (Author)
Chesterton's classic 'philosophical travelogue' details his thoughts and conclusions during a visit to the Middle East in 1920. With his characteristic bluntness - leavened as always with humour and wit - Chesterton describes the day to day life of the people, and of the diverse tensions existing between Islam, Christianity and Judaism - the three great religions that lay claim to this place as Holy Ground. A personal and passionate view of the area almost three decades before the founding of the State of Israel, 'The New Jerusalem' is required reading for all those hoping to understand the complexity of the region and the continuing conflict in today's Holy Land
