Book Synopsis Crossing Jerusalem & Other Plays by : Julia Pascal
Download or read book Crossing Jerusalem & Other Plays written by Julia Pascal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the plays Crossing Jerusalem, The Golem, Year Zero and St Joan Crossing Jerusalem describes 24 hours in the life of an Israeli family in March 2002, as they cross Jerusalem at the beginning of the latest intifada. Over this 24 hours, personal and political history burst into the present. A complex family drama explodes in the most politically tense city in the world. The Golem is inspired by the medieval Yiddish legend. This story, set in Prague, explores what happens when a monster is contructed to defend his community. This version is written for children. Year Zero is a bitter-sweet satire inspired by interviews conducted in the north of France, where Communists, Gaulists, collaborators and those who were children during the 1940s, provided the original source of material. The play exposes the day to day experiences of the men and women who suffered or profited from those zero years. Joan of Arc has, over five centuries, proved an irresistible and enduring icon for an extremely diverse group of people both within and without France. St Joan is a satire based on a Jewish Black Londoner who dreams she is the legendary Catholic Saint.

Book Synopsis Crossing Mandelbaum Gate by : Kai Bird
Download or read book Crossing Mandelbaum Gate written by Kai Bird and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *From the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of American Prometheus—the inspiration for the Academy Award-winning film Oppenheimer* Now with a new introduction, Kai Bird’s fascinating memoir of his early years spent in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon provides an original and illuminating perspective into the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 1956, four-year-old Kai Bird, son of a charming American diplomat, moved to Jerusalem with his family. Kai could hear church bells and the Muslim call to prayer and watch as donkeys and camels competed with cars for space on the narrow streets. Each day on his way to school, Kai was driven through Mandelbaum Gate, where armed soldiers guarded the line separating Israeli-controlled West Jerusalem from Arab-controlled East. Bird would spend much of his life crossing such lines—as a child in Jerusalem, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, and later, as a young man in Lebanon. In Crossing Mandelbaum Gate, a narrative that “rips along like a spy novel” (The New York Times Book Review), Bird’s retelling of “events such as Suez in 1956, the Six Day War of 1967, and Black September in 1970 are as clear and fresh as yesterday” (The Spectator, UK). Bird vividly portrays emblematic figures like George Antonius, author of The Arab Awakening; Jordan’s King Hussein; the Palestinian hijacker Leila Khaled; Salem bin Laden; Saudi King Faisal; President Nasser of Egypt; and Hillel Kook, the forgotten rescuer of more than 100,000 Jews during World War II. Bird, his parents sympathetic to Palestinian self-determination and his wife the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, has written a “kaleidoscopic and captivating” (Publishers Weekly) personal history of a troubled region and an indispensable addition to the literature on the modern Middle East.

Book Synopsis Caesarea to Jerusalem by : Charles Smith
Download or read book Caesarea to Jerusalem written by Charles Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caesarea to Jerusalem, Journey to the Cross documents the life and ministry of Jesus from the moment He is identified by Peter as the Christ at Caesarea Philippi until He enters the city of Jerusalem. This book uniquely puts into perspective things Jesus does in preparation for giving up His life, things which on the surface appear to have no connection. Among these is the bestowing of His peace upon the disciples, the appropriation of a colt upon which to enter Jerusalem, sharing of a final meal with the disciples, a session of prayer so intense that He sweats drops of blood, and the performance of things the people believe only God or someone sent from God could do, such as give sight to the blind, heal the lame, raise the dead, and tell people things about their lives that He would have no way of knowing unless He is who He says He is Messiah.
