East and West

A variety of articles on the travels of the writer and thinker Mohamed Hussein Heikal and his impressions of the country in which he traveled in the east and west. There are articles on Paris - more than one article - and articles on England and other countries he visited. Because the book is very old _ the author died 1956 _ his impressions of this country are very old and do not benefit its reader with an important thing or distinctive information when reading it. One of the chapters of the book on Islamic sanctities, in which the history of the Kaaba was presented in detail and the number of times that was demolished and built, as did the example with the Prophet''s Mosque in the city. He also reviewed the history of Christian sanctities, the most famous of which is the Churches of the Resurrection and the cradle, and he spoke in detail about the features of the two churches and the change in their buildings over time. The writer spoke with an unusual alert about the wall of Al -Mubaki, because the book was composed by its owner before the Nakba 48, that is, before the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
