Levant is a book of cities. It describes three former centers of great wealth, pleasure, and freedom -- Smyrna, Alexandria, and Beirut -- at the crossroads of East and West, where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived and once worshipped as neighbors. Mansel begins in the early days of the French alliance with the Ottoman Empire and continues through the cities' 20th-century fates: Smyrna burned; Alexandria Egyptianized; Beirut lacerated by civil war.
