Описание:

The beginning of the twentieth century was a period that saw far-reaching change in the political and geographical landscapes of the Middle East. From the impact of the revolution of the Young Turks in 1908 to the devastation of World War I and the subsequent British and French mandates in the region, Syria was particularly affected. Yaron Harel adds to the understanding of this period by examining an understudied aspect: the rise of Zionist intellectual thought and activity in the Syrian capital of Damascus. Through meticulous research, Harel highlights the fact that, during these difficult years, those parts of the Jewish community affected by the economic collapse of October 1875 were able to take solace in the rising trend of Zionist thought. He therefore demonstrates Zionism in Damascus was not a religiously motivated movement, but rather was class related. In particular, Harel examines what avenues of identity were available for the Jewish community in Damascus at a time when identification with Arab nationalism was on the rise in Syria. Were they to be Jewish - Arab? Or Jewish - Zionist?It is by examining issues such as Zionist education, health provision, women's political engagement and philanthropic activity that Harel offers an in-depth analysis of Zionism in the context of Jewish society.
He also offers an account of the eventual dismantling of the movement, in the wake of the establishment of the French mandate. With external forces beyond Syria's borders beginning to have an effect (such as the King - Crane Commission and efforts to establish a Jewish Homeland taking shape), as well as internal struggles within Zionist circles in Syria itself, the leaders of the Zionist movement in Damascus began to leave the city. Zionism in Damascus tracks those involved in this ideological wave (Zionist intellectuals, journalists, secular thinkers and rabbis) from its early days to the eventual abandonment of Damascus following the Balfour Declaration and the establishment of the French Mandate.

Описание:

Big con. Missing money. Wounded pride. It's a long journey home.

Four years after that fateful summer in A Life for a Life, Abit Bradshaw faces the biggest challenge of his life. A family of con artists has fleeced his school and cast suspicion on him. With the support of Della Kincaid and Alex Covington, he sets out on a life-changing journey to find them and get payback. Abit draws on every ounce of courage he can muster as he searches the Virginia mountains and encounters a slew of characters--from sinners to saints. Will he have enough faith in himself to finish his quest? Or will the con artists, as too often happens, get the last laugh?

The Roads to Damascus is the second book in Lynda McDaniel's internationally acclaimed Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. Reviewers have compared her work to To Kill a Mockingbird and her storytelling style to that of Fannie Flagg. If you like page-turning dramas without over-the-top violence--but packed with suspense and character-driven stories--you'll love this series.

"WHAT A GREAT FOLLOW-UP TO A Life for a Life. After finishing that] book, I longed to discover more about Abit and his new life away at school. I highly recommend this book." --Malena E., playwright and author

"A DELIGHTFUL DISCOVERY Grabbed me from the first page. Pick up this novel; I dare you to put it down." --Dr. Irene Willis, poet and author of Reminder

"AFTER A LIFE FOR A LIFE I WAS EAGERLY ANTICIPATING THIS SEQUEL, and I was not disappointed. The suspense and plot twists were as riveting as before. The characters and relationships made the book so compelling." --Miles G.

Описание:

There's a damsel in distress and accusations of attempted murder flying around, but it's not in the comfortable confines of the English countryside, it's in the very distant city of Damascus. Lennox must go and investigate, although he's not too keen on exotic locations, and his old retainer, Greggs is distinctly averse to the very idea.
Nevertheless, ex-Chief Inspector Swift persuades them and they reach the ancient city to discover a movie crew, a spy and a couple of mysterious ladies. Nobody seems to be telling the truth, they all have secrets, and there's one secret in particular that's drawn them like bees to the honeypot. But what is it? And then there's murder, and mysteries from the ancient past, and a handsome Sheik who remains in the shadows.
Heathcliff Lennox and Swift must investigate and use all their ingenuity to unravel the enigma that lies hidden in the dusty streets of ancient Damascus.
Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex-WW1 war pilot, six feet 3 inches, unruly dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance. Death in Damascus is the fourth book in the Lennox series.

Описание:

For the first time in my life, I was shot at as I approached the Beirut shore. I know now that if they wanted to kill me, they could have that night.

This is just one of the many adventures the author has faced during his 44 years of living and working in the volatile Middle East.

As the famous writer and lecturer, Helen Keller once wrote: "Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing at all".

In the author's own lifetime he has experienced a profuse number of adventures, and many were truly amazing life-changing episodes, in fact so many that he has decided to share them by writing his third book, The Last American in Damascus.
