The third book from the most gifted young travel writer at work today, author of the best-selling In Xanadu ('one of the best travel books produced in the last twenty years' -- Scotland on Sunday) and City of Djinns ('the best travel book I have ever read' -- George Mackay Brown). In the spring of 587 AD, two monks set off on an extraordinary journey that would take them in an arc across the entire Byzantine world, from the shores of the Bosphorus to the sand dunes of Egypt. On the way John Moschos and his pupil Sophronius the Sophist stayed in caves, monasteries and remote hermitages, collecting the wisdom of the stylites and the desert fathers before their world shattered under the great eruption of Islam. More than a thousand years later, using Moschos's writings as his guide, William Dalrymple set off to retrace their footsteps. Despite centuries of isolation, a surprising number of the monasteries and churches visited by the two monks still survive today, surrounded by often hostile populations. Dalrymple's pilgrimage took him through a bloody civil war in eastern Turkey, the ruins of Beirut, the vicious tensions of the West Bank and a fundamentalist uprising in southern Egypt. His book is an elegy to the slowly dying civilisation of Eastern Christianity and the peoples that have kept its flame alive. It is a rich and gripping blend of history and spirituality, adventure and politics, laced with a thread of black comedy familiar to readers of Dalrymple's previous work.
World view just got an update patch. WD怎么能把自己标为travel writer? 他的段位未免高了一点。保守排异可能是所有宗教民族国家的本能，偶尔的包容并存只是漫长历史里的anomalies. And we are at the beginning of the end. That’s ok. 反正我一直很悲观。

旅行记录，也是中东地区基督徒历史和现状的科普，内容和语言都很棒，解答了很多问题，更正了很多想法。五星无保留推荐。

花了好长时间，总算把这本书看完了。篇幅长，还有不少生词（各种种族、宗教），但还是爱不释手，因为一本书里几乎涵盖了所有我想去的地方：伊斯坦布尔，耶路撒冷，贝鲁特，亚历山大，还有Aleppo （阿勒颇？很讽刺的是无知如我竟然是因为ISIS的破坏才开始了解到这个丝路上的古城）。算是游记，文笔流畅风趣，但是包含很多历史地理宗教的内容，非喜慎入。

中东、近东，犹太教、基督教、伊斯兰教；拜占庭、波斯、阿拉伯；土耳其、巴勒斯坦、以色列、黎巴嫩、叙利亚、埃及；一千四百余年的历史，逐渐褪去的拜占庭色彩下，是同根生的相煎太急。
