Its never-ending story continues to fascinate people. Jerusalem is not only an important historical and spiritual site but also a modern city, home and workplace to three quarters of a million people that draws attention as the Middle East's most controversial urban center. Yet the city we know today can actually only be understood against the background of the comprehensive and rapid changes which took place here in the second half of the 19th and the first decades of the 20th centuries. Beyond the Wall is a new take on an old city, offering a unique and unusual perspective. As an original work of non-fiction, the book sheds light on some of the enigmas of Jerusalem?s more recent past, telling the tale of its growth from a provincial town somewhere in the Turkish Empire into a modern city during the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. It recalls the time when Turkish rule was declining and many different population groups became active in Jerusalem, founding their own neighborhoods, institutions, and businesses while they competed for influence?Jews and Arabs as well as the French, Germans, British, Russians, Austrians, Italians, and Americans, their consuls and clergy. The book also includes two chapters on Arab Jerusalem?a subject that is often neglected?and a preface by Teddy Kollek, who served as the city?s mayor for almost 30 years. 606 $aJerusalem 606 $aJuden 606 $aGeschichte 606 $aJewish 606 $aHistory 615 4$aJerusalem 615 4$aJuden 615 4$aGeschichte 615 4$aJewish 615 4$aHistory 676 $a915.694 700 $aZaun-Goshen$b Heike$4aut$01711287 702 $aKollek$b Teddy$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959893703321 996 $aBeyond the wall$94102493 997 $aUNINA
