书籍简介

1860 年 7 月 9 日，一群罪犯横扫了大马士革的基督教区。暴力事件持续了八天，造成五千名基督徒死亡，数千家商店被洗劫一空，教堂、房屋和修道院被夷为平地。这场突如其来的凶猛暴乱震惊了世界，叙利亚基督徒陷入了危险，担心再次遭受暴力。

有名的中东历史学家尤金·罗根根据从未公开的大马士革事件目击者的描述，讲述了一个和平的多元文化城市如何陷入屠杀。他追溯了穆斯林和基督教社区之间日益加剧的紧张局势如何导致一些人认为灭绝是合理的解决方案。罗根还讲述了这场灾难的后果，以及奥斯曼帝国政府如何迅速采取行动重新控制这座城市，结束暴力，并让基督徒重新融入社区。重建大马士革的努力取得了成功，在接下来的 150 年里，直到 2011 年，大马士革一直保持和平。

《大马士革事件》提供了一段生动的历史，巧妙地揭示了摧毁一座伟大城市的暴力事件的爆发，并探讨了即使在经历了激烈的冲突和难以想象的悲剧之后，修复的可能性。

On July 9, 1860, a violent criminal swept through the Christian quarters of Damascus. For eight days, violence raged, leaving five thousand Christians dead, thousands of shops looted, and churches, houses, and monasteries razed. The sudden and ferocious outbreak shocked the world, leaving Syrian Christians vulnerable and fearing renewed violence. 

Drawn from never-before-seen eyewitness accounts of the Damascus Events, eminent Middle East historian Eugene Rogan tells the story of how a peaceful multicultural city came to be engulfed in slaughter. He traces how rising tensions between Muslim and Christian communities led some to regard extermination as a reasonable solution. Rogan also narrates the wake of this disaster, and how the Ottoman government moved quickly to retake control of the city, end the violence, and reintegrate Christians into the community. These efforts to rebuild Damascus proved successful, preserving peace for the next 150 years until 2011. 

The Damascus Events offers a vivid history, one that masterfully uncovers the outbreak of violence that unmade a great city and examines the possibility, even after searing conflict and unimaginable tragedy, of repair.
