Sulla parete dietro alla reception di un alberghetto della città turca di Antakya campeggia una grande raffigurazione che accosta un minareto, una chiesa e una menorah, sovrastata da una scritta che vuol essere il proclama dello spirito della città: Ezan, Chan, Hazan, richiamo del muezzin, campane e canto di sinagoga. Sembra la summa dell¿antica, gloriosa Antiochia sull¿Oronte, città cosmopolita di cui oggi non restano che poche tracce, ma che per chi ¿ come l¿autrice ¿ cerca lo spirito dei luoghi ha il fascino di essere una ¿città della memoriä come la sua antica e altrettanto gloriosa rivale, Alessandria d¿Egitto. In questi luoghi in cui si sono incontrati nei secoli molteplici culti e civiltà diverse, intrecciandosi e contaminandosi in sintesi nuove, il nazionalismo nato nei secoli XIX e XX ha rappresentato un notevole impoverimento. I viaggi qui raccontati rappresentano dunque una sorta di dolente canto del cigno di mondi ormai scomparsi, sui quali ancora oggi la guerra e la repressione continuano spietatamente ad infierire.

I 1971 tok en 21 år gammel norsk gutt båten til Danmark. Vi følger ham på hans haiketur gjennom Europa, Midtøsten til India, noen ganger alene, andre ganger med reisefølge. Deler av reisen gikk langs det berømte 'hippie trail'. Turen foregikk ved innfallsmetoden som tok ham ad lange omveier gjennom pussige, spennende og noen ganger farlige situasjoner. På reisen gjør han seg sine betraktninger om religiøse og filosofiske spørsmål, grunner på hva som er sannhet og hvor han kan finne svar på livets dypeste spørsmål. Etterhvert konfronteres han med seg selv og øynene åpnes for at vi kanskje lever i en mystisk, ja magisk virkelighet. Dette er ikke en roman, men en sann historie. Denne reisen foregikk i en tid da vestlig ungdom begynte å søke ut i verden med mottoet: 'Turn on, tune in and drop out'. Det var en tid da det ble satt spørsmålstegn ved de voksnes verdier og normer. Denne hippiegenerasjonen eksperimenterte med fri sex og psykedeliske midler og reiste over land til India for 'å finne seg selv'.

"In diesem Moment ist ein Traum geboren. Er leuchtet in meinem Inneren so klar, dass kein Zweifel besteht.Ich bereise die Welt.Erlebe ihre Vielfältigkeit hautnah, werde berührt von ihrer Schönheit und der Warmherzigkeit ihrer Menschen. Immer auf der Suche nach dem Wesentlichen, weil nichts anderes zählt. Ich sitze mitten in der Fremde und erlebe, wie diese zu meiner Heimat wird. Und ich werde darüber schreiben. Über all die Wunder, die geschehen, wenn man sein Herz dem Unbekannten öffnet."Eine wahre Geschichte über Träume, die Wirklichkeit werden - vier Wochen Abenteuer im ägyptischen Sinai.

"From a ground-floor room at the end of one block shone a light. It came from a canteen. I saw others were busy while I was lowering a pint of shandy. I was so dry that I could not taste it-I could only just feel it. We felt better. Where there was beer there was hope."Alec Riley was a signaller in the British Army's 42nd (East Lancashire) Division. Egypt Diary 1914-1915 tells of the mobilisation of the division at the outbreak of war, and the territorials' eight-month-long period of training and garrison duty in Egypt prior to being deployed to Gallipoli. It brings to life the strange and exotic sights met by the Lancashire lads, most of whom had previously travelled no further than the annual camps held in North Wales.Written in Alec Riley's dry style, the diary relates with wit and humour the many fascinating experiences and events Riley and his comrades encountered. Interactions with Egyptian locals are interspersed with Riley's acute (and at times subversive) observations of his own officers. Desert marches, exercises and various mundane duties are recorded, as well as measures taken to guard canteens against Australian raiding parties.The book is lavishly illustrated with contemporary soldiers' photographs of Egypt and four specially-produced maps. The editors, Michael Crane and Bernard de Broglio, have added extensive footnotes and detailed biographies of almost 40 officers and men who come to life in Alec Riley's writings.

Cet ouvrage reflète une vision très personnelle de l'Orient. C'est en fait une construction toute poétique où la symbolique, l'ésotérisme sont, comme d'habitude chez Nerval, omniprésents. Les différentes parties qui forment le Voyage commencèrent à être publiées à partir de 1840 et furent rassemblées en vue de la parution de l'ensemble plus d'une dizaine d'années plus tard.Ce parcours littéraire, s'il commence par la Suisse et l'Allemagne, ne s'y attarde pas. Dans son introduction ("Vers l'Orient"), Nerval décrit Vienne et les aventures qu'il y vit, puis la Grèce. Mais ce seront l'Égypte ("Les Femmes du Caire"), le Liban ("Druses et Maronites") et Constantinople ("Les Nuits du Ramazan") qui constitueront successivement les objets principaux de son récit.Le "Voyage" est certes basé sur des expériences physiques personnelles de "Gérard", c'est-à-dire sur son déplacement jusqu'à Vienne en 1839-1840 et sur sa visite de l'Egypte, du Liban, de Rhodes, de la Syrie et de la Turquie en 1843. Il est aussi l'occasion de profiter d'une mode (on pense à Byron, à Chateaubriand, à Lamartine) et de montrer son talent de prosateur. Il reflète surtout une possibilité que Nerval crut saisir : celle de retrouver les origines communes de différentes civilisations en exprimant la singularité de son destin, de sa trajectoire tant mystique que poétique.

This is a profoundly meaningful and exciting book!...The research...is staggering, and the authors share amazing insights, smarts, positive energy, and humor.<BR>-Joe Armstrong. Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of New York Magazine; Publisher and COO of Rolling Stone; Top advisor to the President of ABC NEWS and anchor Peter Jennings.<BR> With geographical and biblical precision, along with colourful descriptions of the family's experiences, this book opens our eyes to the beauty and wonder of the ancient Near East. There is nothing dry, dusty, or arid in this account.<BR>-Rev Dr. Stafford Carson, Principal Emeritus, Union Theological College, Belfast.<BR> This book is designed to introduce the reader to many of the major narratives of the Bible, beginning with Abraham and other patriarchs, Israel's Judges and Prophets, Jesus Christ, Paul, and John's Seven Churches in Revelation. This covers considerable geography from Iran (biblical Persia) and Iraq in the east, through Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Israel, and Lebanon, to Turkey, Greece, and Italy in the west. It is not a theological text, but mostly our travel logs from 1991-2004 when we had the opportunity to visit almost all known Bible sites. Occasionally we describe some of the more obscure sites, but the emphasis is on our experiences. Often these experiences were funny, exciting, frustrating, sometimes daring, and on occasion a little dangerous. Together, often with our two children, we drove through fields, along tracks, through fruit groves and shallow rivers, and into some quite intimidating areas. We had stones thrown at us at least five times, robbed three times, stopped by police or army five times, had many exciting border crossings, including one where we were within seconds of being shot by Israeli border guards-and we had one car accident-this all to experience these Bible lands.<BR><BR>
