Lives Between the Lines: A Journey in Search of the Lost Levant Vatikiotis Michael
The Middle East is understood today through the lens of unending conflict and violence. It was once a region known poetically as the Levant - a reference to the East, where the sun rose. Lost in the litany of perpetual strife and struggle are the layers of culture and civilisation that accumulated over centuries, and which give the region its cosmopolitan identity.
Yet it was not always this way. Amid the bewildering mix of races, religions and rivalries, was above all an affinity with the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.Today any mixing of this trinity of faiths is regarded as a recipe for hatred and prejudice. There was a time, in the last century, when Arabs and Jews rubbed shoulders in bazaars and teashops, worked and played together, intermarried and shared family histories.
