Description
The Hills of Adonis: A Journey in Lebanon A deeply personal and evocative travelogue that explores the rich cultural heritage of Lebanon. Colin Thubron's journey takes him through the country's stunning coastline, historic ports, and beautiful mountains, where he uncovers the secrets of ancient cults and the ruins of Phoenician, Greek, and Roman civilizations. As he walks for five hundred miles, following tracks and rivers, Thubron reflects on faith and reason, and the joy and complexity of living. He visits places of cultural importance, lives with the people along his way, and records strange remnants left over from the religion of Baalim and high places. This is a book that combines travel writing with personal journaling, offering a unique and thought-provoking exploration of Lebanon's history and culture. Through Thubron's words, the reader is invited to experience the beauty and diversity of this fascinating country, and to reflect on the meaning and significance of its ancient traditions.
