犹太人的发明[有声读物]

希洛莫·桑德，亚尔·洛坦——翻译巴里·艾布拉姆斯（叙述者），《犹太人的发明》
犹太人的发明打破了围绕犹太人和以色列历史的神话和禁忌，这是一次历史性的力量之旅，它为这两个问题提供了一个新的解释，需要予以重视。在一世纪，罗马人真的被迫流亡吗？两千年来，我们是否应该把犹太人视为一个独特的民族，一个最终回归圣经家园的假定国家？
什洛莫·桑德认为，大多数犹太人实际上都是皈依者的后裔，他们的祖国分散在中东和东欧。从这些不同的群体中形成一个犹太民族，然后形成一个犹太国家，这只能在新史学的影响下发生，这是对整个欧洲民族主义崛起的回应。
中东冲突的核心重要性确保了桑德的观点将远远超出他所责难的历史学家和政治家的范围。如果不充分了解以色列的过去，能够取代今天的对立观点，外交解决方案很可能仍然难以捉摸。在这部反传统的历史著作中，希洛莫·桑德为以色列未来的新愿景提供了思想基础。
The Invention of the Jewish People [Audiobook]
Shlomo Sand, Yael Lotan – translator, Barry Abrams (Narrator), “The Invention of the Jewish People”
A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland?
Shlomo Sand argues that most Jews actually descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The formation of a Jewish people and then a Jewish nation out of these disparate groups could only take place under the sway of a new historiography, developing in response to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe.
The central importance of the conflict in the Middle East ensures that Sand’s arguments will reverberate well beyond the historians and politicians that he takes to task. Without an adequate understanding of Israel’s past, capable of superseding today’s opposing views, diplomatic solutions are likely to remain elusive. In this iconoclastic work of history, Shlomo Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.
