Hardcover. Condizione: As New. ### FROM BABEL TO DRAGOMANS: By Bernard Lewis 2004 -- Interpreting the Middle East ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified: AS NEW: This is the 2016 edition, originally published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 2004. The book and cover are in AS NEW: Condition, and the text is clean and tidy. There is no bumping or foxing. A book of immense importance helping those interested readers to understand the Middle East ## ## Bernard Lewis, internationally recognised as an outstanding scholar, is one of the world's leading authorities on Middle Eastern and Islamic history. This book collects in one volume many of his most important essays, lectures, conference papers and reviews ? several previously unpublished ? from more than four decades of observation and analysis. ## ## The range is wide, and the conclusions are often unexpected. Subjects include the culture and history of Iran from earliest antiquity until modern times, the relationship between Europe and Islam, propaganda in the pre-modern Middle East, the Mughals and the Ottomans, pan-Arabism, religion and murder in the Middle East, and the problems and practice of writing Middle Eastern and Islamic history, as well as more esoteric matters such as Middle Eastern food and feasts, and travel in the Middle East ? from pilgrims to tourists. Great events of twentieth-century Middle Eastern history, such as the emergence of modern Israel and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, are discussed. And recent compelling events are also dealt with: the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein, 9/11, the war in Afghanistan and the appeal of Osama bin Laden. ## ## In his reflections, prefaced by a personal memoir, Bernard Lewis consistently and brilliantly illuminates our understanding of Islam and the Middle East ? a crossroads of civilisation for more than two thousand years yet remains a focus for the most corrosive resentment and conflict. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. H/B 244 pages condition is very good. John Graham of Claverhouse is one of the great figures of Scottish history. To his supporters he will always be 'Bonnie Dundee', first and most romantic of the Jacobite rebels, leading his Highlanders at the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 and dying, tragically, at the moment of triumphant victory. To his enemies, the Presbyterian Covenanters, he is 'Graham of Claverhouse' or 'Bluidy Clavers', accused of appalling atrocities and still spoken of with bitterness in the west of Scotland, where his reputation is etched in folk memory and on crumbling gravestones throughout the shires of Dumfries, Ayr and Galloway. As with many legends, the truth is more complex and more interesting than the legend. Going back to original sources, and with access to family papers and private archives, Magnus Linklater and Christian Hesketh look behind the caricature - romanticized by Walter Scott and vilified by Macaulay - and examine the life and career of a supremely efficient and disciplined soldier, faithful to the service of his government, yet who ended his days as a rebel commander at the head of a ragged clan army in the hills of northern Scotland. This book is also a portrait of life in seventeenth-century Scotland and a study of one of the darker periods in Scotland's story, known ever after as 'the killing time' and crucial to an understanding of the Jacobite rebellion. With eight pages of black & white illustrations.
