In the midst of war, he found love In the midst of darkness, he found courage In the midst of tragedy, he found hope The Beekeeper of Aleppo What will you find from his story? Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all - and perhaps this is the hardest thing they face - they must journey to find each other again. Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling.

Le api non avevano segreti per Nuri, negli anni felici della sua vita ad Aleppo: le conosceva, ne sapeva interpretare le danze, i ritmi, l'incredibile miracolo della loro società perfettamente unita. La sua vita, in Siria, era semplice e insieme ricca; lui si occupava delle arnie, sua moglie Afra inventava mille colori per dipingere il mare con le sue mani e i suoi occhi di artista, il piccolo Sami giocava tranquillo. Ma poi la Siria ha cominciato a cadere a pezzi, e così la famiglia di Nuri. Adesso, Sami non c'è più, e Afra è diventata cieca: nei suoi occhi, che hanno improvvisamente smesso di vedere, Nuri rivede ogni giorno il suo stesso dolore, e tutto ciò che, insieme, hanno perduto. Ma negli occhi color del miele di sua moglie, Nuri trova anche dell'altro: una ragione per resistere, per lottare, per continuare a vivere. Lottare per lei come per la piccola ape senza ali che adesso Nuri sta curando proprio lì, in Inghilterra, dove lui e Afra sono arrivati dopo un viaggio pericoloso e straordinario. Un viaggio che Nuri ha voluto intraprendere per seguire l'unico sogno che gli resta. Quello di tornare, un giorno, a sentire la risata di Afra, che era la cosa più bella del mondo.

In an age when physical books matter less and less, here is a thrilling story about a book that meant everything. This true-life detective story unveils the journey of a sacred text - the tenth-century annotated bible known as the Aleppo Codex - from its hiding place in a Syrian synagogue to the newly founded state of Israel. Based on Matti Friedman's independent research, documents kept secret for fifty years, and personal interviews with key players, the book proposes a new theory of what happened when the codex left Aleppo, Syria, in the late 1940s and eventually surfaced in Jerusalem, mysteriously incomplete. The codex provides vital keys to reading biblical texts. By recounting its history, Friedman explores the once vibrant Jewish communities in Islamic lands and follows the thread into the present, uncovering difficult truths about how the manuscript was taken to Israel and how its most important pages went missing. Along the way, he raises critical questions about who owns historical treasures and the role of myth and legend in the creation of a nation.

When the Aleppian Jewish community migrated from the ancient city of Aleppo in historic Syria and settled in New York and Latin American cities in the early 20th century, it brought its rich cuisine and vibrant culture. Most Syrian recipes and traditions, however, were not written down and existed only in the minds of older generations. Poopa Dweck, a first generation Syrian-Jewish American, has devoted much of her life to preserving and celebrating her community's centuries-old legacy. Dweck relates the history and culture of her community through its extraordinary cuisine, offering more than 180 exciting ethnic recipes with tantalising photos and describing the unique customs that the Aleppian Jewish community observes during holidays and lifecycle events. Among the irresistible recipes are: Bazargan-Tangy Tamarind Bulgur Salad; Shurbat Addes-Hearty Red Lentil Soup with Garlic and Coriander; Kibbeh-Stuffed Syrian Meatballs with Ground Rice; Samak b'Batata-Baked Middle Eastern Whole Fish with Potatoes; Sambousak-Buttery Cheese-Filled Sesame Pastries; Eras bi'Ajweh-Date-Filled Crescents; and, Chai Na'na-Refreshing Mint Tea.Like mainstream Middle Eastern cuisines, Aleppian Jewish dishes are alive with flavour and healthful ingredients-featuring whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil-but with their own distinct cultural influences. In "Aromas of Aleppo", cooks will discover the best of Poopa Dweck's recipes, which gracefully combine Mediterranean and Levantine influences, and range from small delights (or maza) to daily meals and regal holiday feasts - such as the twelve-course Passover seder.
