Four thousand years ago- Jerusalem was a small- isolated village perched on a ridge line between the Mediterranean and the desert. Today it is a bustling metropolis with almost one million inhabitants- attracting visitors from all over the world. The story of Jerusalem is in many ways the story of the development of Western civilization-religions were born on its streets- conquerors laid siege to it- and great empires clashed over it. Considered the cradle of Judaism- Christianity- and Islam-the three major monotheistic religions-and a spiritual capital for more than half of humanity. Tracing its history gives us a unique perspective into the histories of these different religious identities. In this 256-page graphic novel- written by renowned historian Vincent Lemire and illustrated by cartoonist and animator Christophe Gaultier introduce us to the people- priests- craftsmen- architects- and residents who have built the history of Jerusalem over the last five millennia.
