About this product
Product Information
This work presents a stunning history of Lebanon over five centuries, the first comprehensive history of the country in forty years. Written by a leading Lebanese scholar, and based on previously inaccessible archives, it is a fascinating and beautifully written account of one of the world's most fabled countries. Starting with the formation of Ottoman Lebanon in the 16th century, Traboulsi covers the growth of Beirut as a capital for trade and culture through the 19th century. The main part of the book concentrates on Lebanon's development in the 20th century and the conflicts that led up to the major wars in the 1970s and 1980s. Lebanon in the 20th century has seen turbulent times, the results of which we still see today.

Skillfully weaving together social, political, cultural and economic history, this deeply informed and penetrating study provides a rich understanding of the vibrant, tragic, but ever hopeful Lebanese 'door to East and West', tracing the intricacies of this fascinating society to their historical roots and revealing the complex web that has emerged. It closes with the observation that 'a new period in the history of Lebanon had begun' in 1990, a period that has been marked by achievements and horrors, but with the promise for the better future that its people surely deserve., This is a unique work. Traboulsi provides a compelling account of Lebanon_s emergence as a state, a critical appraisal of its autonomy, a pathbreaking analysis of its social origins in the intimate and ever changing relationship of caste and class. Traboulsi offers an unsparing critical examination of Lebanon_s recent political history. ... This work ... cannot be ignored., This is a unique work.

The pictured item was not received. I contacted the Seller regarding receipt of a lesser quality Bamboo-handled brush, as I paid double in comparison for the "Unique" brush, in addition to $3.99 shipping. However, this Seller was VERY helpful and generous; tried to locate the correct brush. As an apology, they refunded me, AND gifted me the brush I received. I did give 4 stars related to wrong item description. I would definitely order again from this Seller!!!
