This is Israel

In addition to world capitals - Paris, New York, London - Miroslav Šašek also portrayed countries - Greece, Australia, Ireland, Texas... and also Israel. The pictorial guide to Israel depicts the "young" state (the book was created in 1962, only fourteen years after the declaration of the independent state), and Šašek's narration is full of references to ancient, indeed biblical, history. "And see what the land is like and what kind of people live in it," the Bible exhorts - and Miroslav Šašek does just that. He sees Israel full of reminders of Jesus' miracles and modern airports and solar power plants, Israel covered in desert and populated cities. Israel of Orthodox Jews and street painters. Israel of old and today.
