El hervidero : Historia de Oriente Próximo, 1900-2026

The renowned historian Simon Sebag Montefiore delves into the ideological battles and geopolitical tensions that have shaped the Middle East to offer an ambitious and nuanced chronicle that places the region's history within the context of the last 125 years. Few truly know the history of the Middle East; even fewer understand its diversity and cosmopolitanism, its complexity, and the multiple connections that bind its peoples and cultures. *The Melting Pot* is a novel and unique vision of the region in all its richness and plurality. From the Ottoman Sultanate to the presidency of Donald Trump, and from Morocco to Iran, Montefiore guides the reader on an extraordinary journey through a dazzling landscape where faith and fanaticism, creativity and tolerance, dictatorship and democracy coexist, embodied in an unforgettable cast of kings, warriors, poets, terrorists, and peacemakers. With the vibrant narrative style that made Jerusalem an international publishing phenomenon, Montefiore offers a revealing portrait of the world we have inherited and challenges dominant historical interpretations. This is the essential story of how the Near East of 1900 shaped the Near East of today and tomorrow.
