Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Berlin to Bagdad and Babylon In many lands I have wandered, and wondered, and listened, and seen; And many my friends and companions, and teachers and lovers have been. And nowhere a corner was there but I gathered up pleasure and gain; From a hundred gardens the rose-blooms, from a thousand granaries grain; And I said to my soul in secret, "0h thou, who from journeys art come! It is meet we should hear some token of love to the stayers at home; For where is the traveller brings not from Nile the sweet green reed, Or Kashmiri silk, or musk-hags, or coral, or cardamum seed?" I was loath from all that Pleasaunce of the Sun and his words and ways, To come to my country giftless, and sho- wing no fruit of my days: But, if my hands were empty of honey, and pearls and gold, There were treasures far sweeter than honey, and marvellous things to he told. Whiter than pearls and brighter than the cups at a Sultana's feast, And these I have brought for love-tokens, from the Lords of Truth, in my East.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railway expansion was the great industrial project of the late 19th century, and the Great Powers built railways at speed and reaped great commercial benefits. The greatest imperial dream of all was to connect the might of Europe to the potential riches of the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire. In 1903 Imperial Germany, under Kaiser Wilhelm II, began to construct a railway which would connect Berlin to the Ottoman city of Baghdad, and project German power all the way to the Persian Gulf. The Ottoman Emperor, Abdul Hamid II, meanwhile, saw the railway as a means to bolster crumbling Ottoman control of Arabia. Using new Ottoman Turkish sources, Murat Ozyuksel shows how the Berlin-Baghdad railway became a symbol of both rising European power and declining Ottoman fortunes. It marks a new and important contribution to our understanding of the geopolitics of the Middle East before World War I, and will be essential reading for students of empire, Industrial History and Ottoman Studies.

Download or read book Farewell, Babylon written by Naïm Kattan and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2007 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Farewell, Babylon," Naim Kattan takes readers into the heart of exotic mid-19th-century Baghdad's then-teeming Jewish community. Jews had lived in Iraq for 25 centuries, long before the time of Christ or Muhammad, but anti-Semitism and nationalism were on the rise. In this beautifully written memoir, a young boy comes of age and describes his discoveries -- of work, literature, patriotism, the joys of lazy Sundays swimming in the Tigris. He also talks eloquently of his greatest discovery: women and love. This is a story of roots and exile, of thirst for life and life's experiences. However, more than that it is a tribute to a lost world, an ancient Eastern city in which Iraq's Kurds, Bedouins, Sunnis, Shiites, Chaldeans, Catholics, and Jews all lived together in a rough, rewarding sort of harmony.

Download or read book Watching Babylon written by Nicholas Mirzoeff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking and compelling, Watching Babylon examines the experience of watching the war against Iraq on television, on the internet, in the cinema and in print media. Mirzoeff shows how the endless stream of images flowing from the Gulf has necessitated a new form of visual thinking, one which recognises that the war has turned images themselves into weapons. Drawing connections between the history and legend of ancient Babylon, the metaphorical Babylon of Western modernity, and everyday life in the modern suburb of Babylon, New York, Mirzoeff explores ancient concerns which have found new resonance in the present day. In the tradition of Walter Benjamin, Watching Babylon illuminates the Western experience of the Iraqi war and makes us re-examine the very way we look at images of conflict.

Download or read book The Babylonian World written by Gwendolyn Leick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Babylonian World presents an extensive, up-to-date and lavishly illustrated history of the ancient state Babylonia and its 'holy city', Babylon. Historicized by the New Testament as a centre of decadence and corruption, Babylon and its surrounding region was in fact a rich and complex civilization, responsible for the invention of the dictionary and laying the foundations of modern science. This book explores all key aspects of the development of this ancient culture, including the ecology of the region and its famously productive agriculture, its political and economic standing, its religious practices, and the achievements of its intelligentsia. Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be an indispensable resource for anyone studying the period.

Download or read book A Short History of Babylon written by Karen Radner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of our perception of Babylon in the West is filtered through the poignant echoes of loss and longing that resonate in the Hebrew Bible. The lamenting exiles of Judah craved a return to their lost homeland after the sack of Jerusalem in 587 BC and their forcible removal by Nebuchadnezzar to the alien floodlands of the Euphrates. But to see Babylon only as an adjunct to Old Testament history is misleading. A Short History of Babylon explores the ever-changing city that shaped world history for two millennia.
