Bab Touma, Damascus: An Architectural Epic of Stone, Bells, and the City
باب توما، دمشق: ملحمة الحجر والأجراس والمدينة
Ten chapters in dialogue with Bab Touma, one of the historic gates of Old Damascus: its name, its Mamluk rebuilding, the arch, the Christian quarter behind it, bells and minarets under one sky, the hidden courtyard house, the travelers it saw and its life among cars and tourists, read as a lesson in living beside difference.
