A history of Damascus from the Amorites of the Bible to the revolution of 1966, as well as a personal record of a city. In explaining how modern Damascus is rooted in immemorial layers of culture and tradition, the author explores the historical, artistic, social and religious inheritance of the Damascenes, whilst interspersing the narrative with innumerable anecdotes about travellers of bygone days.
