Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syria, and the Syrians, Vol. 1: Or Turkey in the Dependencies IT is the custom now-a-days, to make an apology for intruding a new work on the public, especially when the subject thereof has been so often written upon. The history of Syria (including Palestine), has been the theme of many an author; and there is, perhaps, no country in the world upon which more books have been written. This is excusable: the subject is one of ever fresh import; the scenes where the Christian faith had its origin and completion ban never become dry to a Bible reader; the land which is replete with testimonies, in fulfilled prophecy, to the truthfulness of the word of God, as uttered by His prophets long ago, can never cease to be a subject of regard. To write on a land where Jesus trod, walked, and on whose waters He sailed - which was invested with undying interest by having witnessed His presence, and been hallowed by His prayers - where He went about doing good, and at last died for fallen man, is most natural, and one the most likely to be read by a Christian public.

The party comprised, a muleteer, and my brother J, who would see me as far as Sidon, in my tour of the Holy Land. Our course was directed to Sidon, from which place my brother intended returning home, whilst I proceeded to Bayroot, prior to deciding on any fixed plan for making a tour of Palestine . . .

But the scenery was more lovely than ever; green foliage and beautiful flowers met the eye everywhere; fields of corn, waving with majestic splendour; groves of olive trees interspersed here and there; grassy slopes enlivened by a rich assortment of flowers, and the tumultuous river madly rushing along--all contributed to render the picture one of exceeding...

Download or read book Syria and the Syrians written by Adel Beshara and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Syria and the Syrians" is a contribution to the attempt to understand the present through the lens of the past. It is an epic chronicle of a people and a land that has seen it all and knows it all, as told and retold by scholars of different backgrounds and disparate eras. While this chronicle displays implicit notions of heroism and a nostalgic glorification of a bygone era, it is about real history, a real people, and a real land. The history is life-like. It provides entry into the "mind" of great ages, a return to an aesthetic world, and an introduction to the actions and ideas that helped shape our thinking for generations on end. It is a breathtaking blend of triumph, adventure, failure, and survival. It is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and contributions of a nation and a tribute to the important, perilous, and often-overlooked work of its people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in Syria, Vol. 1 of 2 In giving an account of the War in Syria, I have endeavoured to state the facts as they occurred, of most of which I was an eyewitness. The Levant Papers have furnished me with much useful information, and I have endeavoured to make no statements that cannot be borne out either by them or by documents in my own possession. In writing a work of this kind I have been obliged to publish letters and extracts of letters from these Papers, in order to save the reader the trouble of examining them, and, indeed, it is not in the power of the public to get hold of Parliamentary Papers without a serious expense; this I trust will be a sufficient excuse for the numerous documents that I have thought it necessary to give.

Download or read book Burning Country written by Robin Yassin-Kassab and published by Pluto Press (UK). This book was released on 2016 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, Syrians took to the streets to demand the overthrow of the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Today, much of Syria has become a war-zone where foreign journalists find it almost impossible to go. Burning Country explores the reality of life in present-day Syria. Drawn from over fifteen years of work with the people of Syria, it reveals the stories of opposition fighters, exiles lost in an archipelago of refugee camps, and many others. Examining new grassroots revolutionary organisations, the rise of ISIS and Islamism, and the emergence of the worst refugee crisis since World War Two, Burning Country is a vivid account of a modern-day political and humanitarian nightmare. -- from back cover.

Download or read book The Home That Was Our Country written by Alia Malek and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alia Malek weaves a lyrical narrative around the history of her family's apartment building in the heart of Damascus, the many lives that crossed in the stairwell, and how the fates of her neighbors reflect the fate of her country. At the Arab Spring's hopeful start, Alia Malek returned to Damascus to reclaim her grandmother's apartment, which had been lost to her family since Hafez al-Assad came to power in 1970. Its loss was central to her parent's decision to make their lives in America. In chronicling the people who lived in the Tahaan building, past and present, Alia portrays the Syrians--the Muslims, Christians, Jews, Armenians, and Kurds--who worked, loved, and suffered in close quarters, mirroring the political shifts in their country. Restoring her family's home as the country comes apart, she learns how to speak the coded language of oppression that exists in a dictatorship, while privately confronting her own fears about Syria's future. The Home That Was Our Country is a deeply researched, personal journey that shines a delicate but piercing light on Syrian history, society, and politics. Teeming with insights, the narrative weaves acute political analysis with a century of intimate family history, delivering an unforgettable portrait of the Syria that is being erased.
