A richly illustrated travelogue and historical portrait, Jerusalem presents one of the world's most contested and sacred cities through the lens of Colin Thubron's characteristically lyrical and meticulous prose. The work chronicles the city's layered millennia of history — from its ancient Canaanite origins through Jewish, Christian, and Islamic civilisations — weaving together archaeology, religion, and human drama into a seamless narrative. Thubron details the streets, shrines, and peoples of Jerusalem with an intimacy that few travel writers can match, capturing the spiritual intensity and political complexity that make the city utterly unique. The result is both a vivid portrait of a living city and a meditation on faith, conflict, and the enduring power of sacred geography.
