In \u003cem\u003eJerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City\u003c\/em\u003e, Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays. When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle's drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. \u003cem\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/em\u003e showcases once more Delisle's mastery of the travelogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2012\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Jonathan Cape Ltd\u003cbr\u003ePages: 336\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0224096699\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780224096690\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy Delisle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50683012219146,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780224096690.jpg?v=1738147099","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/jerusalem-chronicles-from-the-holy-city","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
