The Vanishing
批評家のレビュー
"A tragic portrait of a disappearing world, created with all of the great Janine di Giovanni’s passion and literary grace." (Salman Rushdie)
あらすじ・解説
Bloomsbury presents The Vanishing by Janine di Giovanni, read by Suehyla El-Attar.
The Vanishing reveals the plight and possible extinction of Christian communities across Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine after 2,000 years in their historical homeland.
Some of the countries that first nurtured and characterized Christianity - along the North African Coast, on the Euphrates and across the Middle East and Arabia - are the ones in which it is likely to first go extinct. Christians are already vanishing. We are past the tipping point, now tilted towards the end of Christianity in its historical homeland. Christians have fled the lands where their prophets wandered, where Jesus Christ preached, where the great doctors and hierarchs of the early church established the doctrinal norms that would last millennia.
From Syria to Egypt, the cities of northern Iraq to the Gaza Strip, ancient communities, the birthplaces of prophets and saints, are losing any living connection to the religion that once was such a characteristic feature of their social and cultural lives.
In The Vanishing, Janine di Giovanni has combined astonishing journalistic work to discover the last traces of small hardy communities where ancient rituals are quietly preserved amid 360-degree threats. Full of faith and hope, di Giovanni's riveting personal stories make a unique act of pre-archaeology: the last chance to visit the living religion before all that will be left are the stones of the past.
