Book The Light of Jerusalem - Assouline

Moving and dreamlike excerpts from Nobel Peace Prize-winning writer and humanist Elie Wiesel in his famous 1968 novel, A Beggar in Jerusalem, introduce this latest addition to Assouline's La Lumière collection. Featuring the textured black and white photographs of Jean-Michel Berts, taken at dawn, The Light Of Jerusalem captures the poetry and emotion of this ancient crossroads of civilizations and empires, effervescent commerce and devout spirituality. Jerusalem today is a multicultural metropolis, a complex mix of ancient and modern, religious and secular, political and spiritual, historic and timeless. This marvelous volume expresses the power and mystery of Jerusalem's monuments, streets, gardens and vistas.
