Peasant Life in the Holy Land (Classic Reprint) by Charles Thomas Wilson Pdf
Excerpt from Peasant Life in the Holy Land To the new comer from the West, who obtains his first glimpse of Eastern life as he sets foot on the shores of Palestine, all he sees and hears comes with startling novelty. Every turn of the road or street, each group by the wayside, the long lines of camels winding down the valleys, the picturesque crowds of an Eastern market, the varied incidents of peasant life, all present brilliant pictures to eye and mind with a Vividness and freshness which are apt to be much dimmed by long residence among these scenes and intimate familiarity with them.

Tent and Saddle Life in the Holy Land (Classic Reprint) by David Van Horne Pdf
Excerpt from Tent and Saddle Life in the Holy Land Our chief interest in the Holy Land arises from its association with the Bible. The country once trodden by the patriarchs, judges, kings and prophets, and by the Saviour himself and the apostles, cannot fail to attract the attention of travellers and readers in each generation. Be sides this the face of the country is diversified, and the scenery of more than passing interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"A wonderfully original and compelling study, essential for understanding the complex relations between the US and the nations and peoples of the Mideast. McAlister argues powerfully that American interests in the Mideast range far beyond the realm of foreign policy to become of paramount importance to the creation of American culture in the post World War II era. . . . A model for those interested in the interconnections of culture and foreign policy in an era of globalization. An engrossing read."--Amy Kaplan, author of The Social Construction of American Realism "Melani McAlister has written a marvelous book that draws together a vast array of materials from the media, archives, scholarly sources, and popular culture, interpreting it through her rich knowledge of cultural studies. Scholars in many fields--American studies, sociology, religious studies, political science, media studies, among others--will want to read this lively and engaging book."--Robert Wuthnow, author of After Heaven: Spirituality in America Since the 1950s, and Creative Spirituality: The Way of the Artist "A fascinating and completely original analysis of the relation between culture and foreign policy. . . this book casts entirely new light on US military, financial, and emotional investments in the Middle East. Conservative Christian sensibilities, television, Biblical epics, Black Power, and a host of gender-related representations--these and other factors all played a part in the shaping of American foreign policy in ways that have never before been noticed. No historian of twentieth-century American culture or politics should miss this brilliant book!"--Gail Bederman, author of Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the US, 1880-1917 "Diplomatic historians are now turning to Edward Said's Orientalism to explore the cultural dimensions of 20th Century America's representations of the Middle East. They are too late! Melani McAlister develops a "post-orientalist" approach to U.S. culture, foreign policy, and identity. Hers is also the first book ever to recognize that African -Americans matter to such a project. Epic Encounters is a blockbuster of a book."--Robert Vitalis, author of When Capitalists Collide: Business Conflict and the End of Empire in Egypt
Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, Or Scenes in Palestine (Classic Reprint) by London Religious Tract Society Pdf
Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine It is from Edoln's rock-hewn capital that the frontier of J udea is approached. A deep mountain basin is strewed with Petra's ruins, is hemmed around by a perpendicular wall of cliffs, whose precipices are sculptured for the facades and excavated for the chambers, which served the indwellers of this nest in the rock for habitations during life, for temples in which to worship, and for tombs where all that was mortal of them at last was laid. The descent north wards is through a series of ravines that often are mere rifts in the mountain channels by which the waters of winter's storms rush down to the plain. One great valley, beginning almost as far north as Mount Hermon, runs from north to south through Southern Syria, and continues its course still further to the southward. Its upper portion is the valley of the Jordan, commonly called by Arabs El Ghor. By most of the Arabian geographers this name is applied to the valley of the Jordan exclusively; but one of them, Abulfelda, says that the Ghor extends continuously to the Red Sea from the Lake of Tiberias. The ancient geographers are silent as to the prolongation of the great valley from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. The central portion of the valley is occupied by the Dead Sea in its greatest length, and by a small tract at its southern extremity, which is the Valley of Salt of the Scriptures, reaching up to some declivities that are probably those called in the Bible the ascent of Akrabbim. From these cliffs the great plain to which the name El Arabah is given by the Arabs, and which was wholly unknown to the last generation of travellers, commences, and continues uninterruptedly to tlie site of ancient Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Akabah on the Red Sea.

Journal of a Tour in the Holy Land by Lady Francis Egerton Pdf
Excerpt from Journal of a Tour in the Holy Land: In May and June, 1840 I have been requested by the Committee of the Ladies' Hibernian Female School Society, to allow the following extracts from my private Journal, (made originally, merely for the perusal of my friends, ) to be printed with a view to the benefit of the above Institution. It was necessarily most agreeable to me to be able in any way to further the objects of that useful Society, and I was happy to accede to the request. I trust that the curiosity of my friends, as to what may have been my impressions during a journey through Palestine, and the interest which almost all persons entertain upon the subject of that country, may cause the undertaking to answer the purpose for which it is intended; and if, in addition to this object, these extracts chance to prove useful as a guide book to any future traveller in the East, my satisfaction will be much increased. In furtherance of the latter object, I have subjoined, in the Appendix, an index of our resting places, and the number of hours' journey between each.

The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Complete) by Sir James George Frazer Pdf
For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.

With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem (Classic Reprint) by Stephen Graham Pdf
Excerpt from With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most Significant thing in the Russian life of to-day. In the story lies a great national epic. The adventure of which I tell was unique and splendid, a thing of a lifetime. Whatever happens to me on my wanderings over the world in the coming years, I have little doubt that even when I am old and gray I Shall look back to it as the most wonderful thing I ever found on the road, the most extraordinary procession I ever stepped into. It has also been a great discovery. Jerusalem is a place of disillusion for the tourist who would like to feel himself a pilgrim, but here in the peasant world is a new road and indeed a new Jerusalem.

At the Chautauqua Institution in New York, visitors could walk down Palestine Avenue to "Palestine" and a model of Jerusalem, or along Morris Avenue to a scale model of the "Jewish Tabernacle." At the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, a replica of Ottoman Jerusalem covered eleven acres, while today, 300 miles to the southeast, a seven-story-high Christ of the Ozarks stands above a modern re-creation of the Holy Land set in the Arkansas hills."--BOOK JACKET.

A Child's Story of the Life of Christ (Classic Reprint) by Helen Brown Hoyt Pdf
Excerpt from A Child's Story of the Life of Christ The story of the life of Christ has been written time and time again, yet it is one that is ever fresh and attractive. Little children love to hear it if it is told in language which their minds are able to grasp, and the aim of this book has been to tell the story so simply that the youngest child can enjoy it because he can understand it. The account recorded in the four gospels has been closely followed, and the order of events is that accepted by the greatest thinkers and writers. Many of the laws and customs of the times have been introduced to make the text more clear; and, that the lessons taught may be more attractive and better remembered, the book is abundantly illustrated. The writer does not claim originality, but, knowing that all children love to read or hear a good story, she has tried to tell this old, old story in a way that will make them love it and absorb into their own beings the elements of true living which only the life and teachings of the Christ can give.
