A rich blend of history and spirituality, adventure and politics, laced with the thread of black comedy familiar to readers of William Dalrymple’s previous work.In AD 587, two monks, John Moschos and Sophronius the Sophist, embarked on an extraordinary journey across the Byzantine world, from the shores of the Bosphorus to the sand dunes of Egypt. Their aim: to collect the wisdom of the sages and mystics of the Byzantine East before their fragile world shattered under the eruption of Islam. Almost 1500 years later, using the writings of John Moschos as his guide, William Dalrymple set off to retrace their footsteps.Taking in a civil war in Turkey, the ruins of Beirut, the tensions of the West Bank and a fundamentalist uprising in Egypt, William Dalrymple’s account is a stirring elegy to the dying civilisation of Eastern Christianity.

If interested in how history echoes into the present, "From the Holy Mountain" is a great read. After I read a library copy of it, it had such a lingering impact for me that I ordered my own copy. I'm interested in the regions (Balkans/Near and Middle East from Byzantine era onward), so I don't know if I'll be as entranced by Dalrymple's other books, which deal with his India experiences, among others,, but I plan to find out.
