Críticas:
`Particularly timely ... Lewis is the outstanding Western scholar in Islamic history and culture. These short, well-written essays underscore how different Islam is from the West.'Forbes
`A rich account.'International Herald Tribune
'Bernard Lewis's brilliant book of essays ... weaves a seamless web between past and present. In a collection of remarkable learning and range Mr. Lewis takes us ... from the early encounters of Christendom and Islam to today's Islamic dilemmas ... to be taken through a treacherous terrain by the coolest and most reassuring of guides. You are in the hands of the Islamic world's foremost living historian. Of that world's ordeal he writes with the greatest care and authority and no small measure of sympathy. The book's most engaging essay is a passionate defense of Orientalism that foreshadows today's debate about multi-culturalism and the study of non-Western history. With Mr. Lewis's rebuttal the debate is joined, as a great historian defends the meaning ofscholarship and taken as those who would bully its practitioners in pursuit of some partisan truths. It is an unsentimental view of history that Mr. Lewis presents.'Fouad Ajami, Wall Street Journal
'As ever, Lewis speak with authority, in prose marked by lucidity, elegance, wit and force. His interpretation is informed by enormous erudition, by wonderful skill in shaping his narratives and analyses, and by a clear sense of his own values and premises. This is a challenging book that deserves a wide audience.'R. New York Newsday
'a book of essays that gather his provocative thoughts on the subject'Ron Grossman, Chicago Tribune
'he is well worth reading for the experience and erudition of his writing, and the refreshing lucidity of his style'San Francisco Chronicle Review
'As the author of numerous books and articles on the Middle East, as a scholar of extraordinary erudition and a leading philologist, he is probably the best-known Orientalist in the English-speaking world.'Washington Times
'Eleven superb essays on the culture clash between the Islamic nations of the Middle East and the more secularized West ... Scholarly but not pedantic, writing without fear or favor, Lewis makes an ideal guide through the political, religious, and cultural thickets of Islam ... his reach is as wide as his touch is sure. His tone is objective throughout ... A learned, forceful analysis that treats Islam with respect, not condescension.'Kirkus Reviews
`Offer[s] perspectives that deserve to be seen outside specialist circles.'Malise Ruthven, The Guardian
'His immense knowledge and meticulous attention to detail make these chapters a pleasure to read.'Times Higher Education Supplement

Is it correct to equate Islam with the West, a religious community with a geo-political entity? Islam is not a place; it is a religion. But, in this enlightening and distinguished collection of essays, several of them previously unpublished in English, Bernard Lewis questions the apparent asymmetries between Islam and the West, explores the vast common heritage both communities share and investigates each side's perception of the other.
Many of the pieces examine the troubled relations between the two regions since the Middle Ages, focusing in particular on the impact of the West on the Middle East in modern times, and the Islamic responses to Western dominance. Especially timely are articles on the resurgence of Islam and anti-Western sentiment in recent years and on the failure of democratic institutions to take hold in the region.
Bernard Lewis is one of the world's leading scholars of the Middle East. He is Cleveland E. Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Emeritus, at Princeton University. Previously, a permanent member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
