Recenzii
"Rannfrid Thelle tells the fascinating story of Babylon in the Western imagination and how images of that ancient city have interacted with the realities of history from antiquity to today. Full of engrossing detail, ranging from biblical accounts to the contemporary art of Michael Rakowitz, Thelle's story provides an important backdrop against which to reflect on the tragic events of modern Iraqi history---from the Babylon-obsessed dictatorship of Saddam Hussein to the destruction wrought by the American-led invasion and the rampage of the Islamic State."
- Aaron Tugendhaft, The University of Chicago, USA
Descriere
This volume presents Babylon as it has been passed down through Western culture: through the Bible, classical texts, in Medieval travel accounts, and through depictions of the Tower motif in art.
