Tekst achterflap

The New Jerusalem is a philosophical travelog by G. K. Chesterton, a British author. This collection of essays is about Chesterton's visits to Jerusalem in 1919 and a eulogy on the Middle Ages and the true end of the Roman Empire. Here, the realities of the earthly Jerusalem are loosely painted. This book of Jerusalem's past demonstrates how thoroughly Chesterton anticipated the Middle East's future. As always, Sir Chesterton does a fantastic job of giving the reader a fascinating story and a deeper understanding of his journey toward Jerusalem. If you are not familiar with this amazing city, you should visit Jerusalem through this book from Chesterton's eyes during his journey from Europe to Palestine, which can pull you into its unique essays.
