Lebanon: Through Writers' Eyes

A reasoned anthology, a record of people who visited Lebanon from 1800 BC to the present; and of the Lebanese themselves, writing about their homeland, their religions, their joys, their wars, and their sorrows. The potential visitor to Lebanon will discover a country that is infinitely richer, more diverse, and perennial than the headlines of the last few decades might suggest. The reader will delight in familiar, and discover some less familiar, treasures of description, analysis, and literature.
