Book Description
DAMASCUS STREET tugs the reader inside the dangerous world of the Levant during the 2006 war between Hisbollah and the Israeli defense force, and ends just before the start of the long and bloody international challenge to the dictatorship of Bashar Al-Assad. The story, begun in Cathy Sultan's first thriller THE SYRIAN, continues with the kidnapping of Nadia Khoury, a beautiful UN official, and the near fatal beating of her American fiancée, Dr. Andrew Sullivan. The couple, so cruelly separated, discover new passions and strengths, ones not always to their liking, in their attempts to survive. The twisting and turning of expectations and consequences brilliantly mirrors the microcosmic and macrocosmic nature of the region, showing through fiction what the author, a well-known Middle East expert, knows deep in her soul-that there can be no innocence in this ancient place.

The Damascus Road
Author: Jay Parini
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307386201
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
From the author of the international bestseller The Last Station, a superb historical novel of the Apostle Paul, whose tireless and epic preaching of the message of Jesus brought Christianity into existence and changed human history forever. In the years after Christ's crucifixion, Paul of Tarsus, a prosperous tentmaker and Jewish scholar, took it upon himself to persecute the small groups of his followers that sprung up. But on the road to Damascus, he had some sort of blinding vision, a profound conversion experience that transformed Paul into the most effective and influential messenger Christianity has ever had. In The Damascus Road novelist Jay Parini brings this fascinating and ever-controversial figure to full human life, capturing his visionary passions and vast contradictions. In relating Paul's epic journeys, both geographical and spiritual, he unfolds a vivid panorama of the ancient world on the verge of epochal change. And in the alternating voice of the Gospel writer Luke, Paul's travel companion, scribe, and ghostwriter, a cooler perspective on his actions and beliefs emerges -- ironic but still filled with wonder at Paul's unshakable commitment to the Christ and his divinity.

My House in Damascus
Author: Diana Darke
Publisher: Haus Publishing
ISBN: 1908323655
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
The ongoing conflict in Syria has made clear just how limited the general knowledge of Syrian society and history is in the West. For those watching the headlines and wondering what led the nation to this point, and what might come next, this book is a perfect place to start developing a deeper understanding. Based on decades of living and working in Syria, My House in Damascus offers an inside view of Syria’s cultural and complex religious and ethnic communities. Diana Darke, a fluent Arabic speaker who moved to Damascus in 2004 after decades of regular visits, details the ways that the Assad regime, and its relationship to the people, differs from the regimes in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya—and why it was thus always less likely to collapse quickly, even in the face of widespread unrest and violence. Through the author’s firsthand experiences of buying and restoring a house in the old city of Damascus, which she later offered as a sanctuary to friends, Darke presents a clear picture of the realities of life on the ground and what hope there is for Syria’s future.
