Israel —crisol de tres de las religiones más extendidas del mundo y que contiene algunos de los lugares sagrados del planeta— tiene una historia marcada por el dolor y la emoción. Sin embargo, su pai

Relato entrañable de un viaje a Tierra Santa, enriquecido con datos históricos y bíblicos, que pretende servir como ayuda para la peregrinación al lugar donde el Maestro vivió y proclamó el Evangelio.

Ciudad santa para las tres principales religiones monoteístas, en las viejas callejuelas de la ciudad vieja de Jerusalén se percibirá fácilmente, se sea o no devoto, la especial energía que desprende esta ciudad incomparable. Tanto el peregrino catolico como el viajero curioso se asombraran ante el Santo Sepulcro, el Muro de las Lamentaciones y la mezquita de la Cupula de la Roca, recorreran la Via Dolorosacamino seguido por Jesucristo hasta la cru- cifixion-, y se perderan por las callejuelas de los ancestrales barrios de Jerusalen: el musulman, el judio, el catolico y el armenio. La ruta por Tierra Santa conducira despues a la ocupada Cisjordania: Belen, con la magnifica basilica de la Natividad, la explosiva y apasionante Hebron y el historico oasis de Jerico seran las principales visitas. Ningun viajero dejara pasar la oportunidad de darse un pringoso chapuzon en el biblico mar Muerto. Y al norte de la ciudad santa esperan la Baja Galilea y su lago Tiberiades, escenario de la vida de Jesus, y las costeras poblaciones de Haifa y Acre, que completan el periplo por estas tierras tan convulsas como fascinantes.

Elautor, religioso dominico, docente e investigador en el Ecole Biblique de Jerusalen, presenta una guía completa con 150 planos, mapas, esquemas y fotografias de calidad. Propone varios recorridos por la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalen y una lista alfabetica con la descripcion minuciosa de los principales lugares de interes del resto del pais.

Viajar por Irán, la antigua Persia, es adentrarse en un país cuna de civilizaciones: elamitas, hurritas, sumerios, medas, aqueménidas, sasánidas, selyúcidas...; Darío el Grande, Artajerjes, Alejandro el Magno, Gengis Kan, Tamerlan, Abbas I, y, ¡como no!, la Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Yacimientos como los de Susa o Persepolis haran las delicias de aquellos que se emocionan ante los vestigios de la antiguedad. No sera dificil evocar la mitica Ruta de la Seda en ciudades como Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz o la misma Kerman. Sencillas pero utiles y ecologicas construcciones de adobe, cupulas recubiertas de ceramicas brillando al sol, la presencia de Zoroastro, altos y esbeltos minaretes, mausoleos... Preciosas alfombras, tranquilas y acogedoras casas de te, miniaturas -un arte preciso muy extendido en Iran-, bazares, pero sobre todas las maravillas, la hospitalidad y la amabilidad de los iranies, en boca unanime de los afortunados viajeros que han recorrido el pais. Quiza todo ello compense a los occidentales, sobre todo a las mujeres, de la molestia de atenerse en su vestuario a las estrictas normas islamicas.
