Europe tour (8 giug 1867 anni – 19 nov 1867 anni)

Descrizione:

In June of 1867, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) embarked on a journey to Europe and Ottoman Palestine, now Israel. He described the Holy Land as “unpicturesque” and “unsightly”, even “desolate”. From September 24-25, 1867, Twain stayed at the Mediterranean Hotel, in the “Old Jewish Quarter” (now the Muslim Quarter of the Old City).

Since then Israel has begun a redemption process in which in addition to the land giving fruit, there is a revival of Jewish life, an ingathering of exiles, and Jewish sovereignty in the land. Indeed, Twain’s book, which was published 30 years BEFORE the first World Zionist Congress, supports the Zionist idea that Palestine was a “land without a people for a people without a land.”
