Download or read book Aleppo written by Philip Mansel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Every time gardens welcomed us, we said to them,Aleppo is our aim and you are merely the route.' Al-Mutanabbi Aleppo lies in ruins. Its streets are plunged in darkness, most of its population has fled. But this was once a vibrant world city, where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived and traded together in peace. Few places are as ancient and diverse as Aleppo - one of the oldest, continuously inhabited cities in the world - successively ruled by the Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Arab, Ottoman and French empires. Under the Ottomans, it became the empire's third largest city, after Constantinople and Cairo. It owed its wealth to its position at the end of the Silk Road, at a crossroads of world trade, where merchants from Venice, Isfahan and Agra gathered in the largest suq in the Middle East. Throughout the region, it was famous for its food and its music. For 400 years British and French consuls and merchants lived in Aleppo; many of their accounts are used here for the first time. In the first history of Aleppo in English, Dr Philip Mansel vividly describes its decline from a pinnacle of cultural and economic power, a poignant testament to a city shattered by Syria's civil war.

Book excerpt: The Jews of Aleppo, Syria, had been part of the city' fabric for more than two thousand years, through good times and bad, conquerors and kings, residing alongside Christians and Muslims with respectful tolerance. By the middle years of the twentieth century, though, all that had changed, leading to an odyssey that began for the Sutton family on a fateful day in 1941. Rising anti-Semitism, Claudette Sutton's grandfather decided, required him to "export his sons", beginning with the oldest, her father, Mike. Decades later, Mike's unassuming request to his daughter to "help me get my story down on paper" opened a treasure trove of personal memories, religious history, and global politics which have come together as Farewell, Aleppo.

Book Synopsis The Middle East on the Eve of Modernity by : Abraham Marcus
Download or read book The Middle East on the Eve of Modernity written by Abraham Marcus and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative historical portrait of society in the premodern Middle East, Abraham Marcus takes us on a guided tour of a past world, revealing its inner workings and throwing new light on its realities during the crucial century before the onset of modernization in the region. Focusing on the great Syrian city of Aleppo, he pieces together aspects of life ranging from business and family to disease and popular pastimes. This work of social history shows how many of the accepted notions and assumptions about what is commonly called premodern, Islamic, or traditional society are inaccurate or unfounded, and draws our attention to the intricacies of a world that may appear alien and exotic but was by no means simple, primitive, or static.

Download or read book Fragments of Memory written by Hanna Mina and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An autobiographical novel, set in the early 20th century, about the life of a boy born to a poor family in northern Syria. Fragments of Memory offers a picture of reality that is simple, direct, and quite emotional... an image of Syrian society in the thirties and forties through the struggle of an impoverished family- of an origin that is neither rural nor urban- which moves from the city to the countryside, only to be forced back unwillingly, groping for survival. Khaldoun Shamaa's Fragments of Memory is an autobiographical novel about the life of a boy born to a poor family in northern Syria. Mina sets these personal events against a richly detailed description of events in the history of early 20th century Syria, as the silkworm industry gave way to modern foreign technology. The mode of life described is one of a bygone era.
