Description:
|
Accompanying his wife on a diplomatic posting to Lebanon from 2018-2021, Australian writer Theodore Ell witnessed the significant and noteworthy events that challenged the Lebanese people during this period: economic collapse, revolution, the arrival of Covid, and the catastrophic explosion at the Port of Beirut that destroyed half of the city. Offering a unique outsider perspective, this rich and immersive reflection on Lebanon past and present, delves thoughtfully beyond the headlines.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"I want to recommend this book to everyone I know - it gives an insight into the turbulent history of Lebanon."
" The writing itself is superb - I seldom get to read a book where I want to read every word, because every word is so carefully selected."
"One of Ell's greatest strengths is his ability to capture events without imposing personal judgements."
" This is a book that informs without lecturing, giving readers a sense of the region's enduring history alongside its present-day struggles."
" Ell's observations provide a window into Lebanese life, its beauty, its challenges, and its resilience."
"For anyone interested in seeing Lebanon through a more personal and empathetic lens, this book is an insightful and engaging read."
