A groundbreaking, ambitious, and authoritative examination of Israel by one of the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East today
My Promised Land tells the story of Israel as it has never been told before. Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today is at a moment of existential crisis. Through revealing stories of significant events and of ordinary individuals—pioneers, immigrants, entrepreneurs, scientists, army generals, peaceniks, settlers, and Palestinians—Israeli journalist Ari Shavit illuminates many of the pivotal moments of the Zionist century that led Israel to where it is today. We meet the youth group leader who recognized the potential of Masada as a powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange grove from his Arab neighbor in the 1920s, and with the Jaffa orange helped to create a booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in developing Israel’s nuclear program; the religious Zionists who started the settler movement. Over an illustrious career that has spanned almost thirty years, Shavit has had rare access to people from across the Israeli political, economic, and social spectrum, and in this ambitious work he tells a riveting story that is both deeply human and of profound historical dimension.
As it examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, My Promised Land asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? And can Israel survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing, both internal and external, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

看完原書,決定把譯本打分改成一星。
評分“The Israel tale is the tale of vitality against all odds". 好書,不過隻能推薦給真心對以色列前世今生感興趣的人,不輕鬆。
評分第一次讀以色列的近代史,這樣的曆史觀感覺不多見瞭。期待明年Silk Road之旅
評分寫得最well-paced, 最informative的, 是關於以色列內部, Ashkenazi與Sephardic Jews矛盾的篇章. 信息量充足, 但最終章過於充足導緻很難以下咽.

文/吴情 《圣经·旧约·出埃及记》中描绘了犹太人逃离埃及、寻找上帝赐予的“应许之地”(The Promised Land),一块流着奶与蜜的土地的艰难历程。而纵观历史,似乎自《圣经》开始,这一民族的历史就是一部寻找的历史。寻找应许之地,寻找纯粹的民族,寻找兴旺与发达。...
評分一本看起来很难释手的书,断断续续看也不妨碍阅读的震撼感。 一本以色列人对于自己民族存在和定位的不断审视,不断修正,不断奋斗的历史,一个个片段其实让人颇有感触。一个饱经风霜和璀璨的民族,奋斗精神,不屈不挠精神为主体是这个民族得以存在在中东是非之地的一个关键因素...
評分文/严杰夫 巴勒斯坦历史学家纳兹米•朱贝曾说道,“在耶路撒冷,不要问我真相的历史……若拿走虚构的故事,耶路撒冷就一无所有了。”这句话放在以色列这个国家身上,似乎也同样适用。 于是,今天的以色列似乎给人一种光怪陆离的印象:对于基督徒或“离散”犹太人来说,以色...
