Rezensionen

"A rich, consistently fascinating volume that provides more than ample evidence of the fascination inspired by this city - forever intertwined, of course, with a complex welter of mythology. With use of a wide range of sources, as well as ample scholarly imagination, the book is testimony to a scholarly arena that continues to attract impressive talent."

— Steven J. Zipperstein, Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History, Stanford University
