"A towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest quaIities to exhiIarating effect, it is at once epic yet intimate, inteIIectuaIIy commanding but instantIy accessible. lt is aIso tremendously moving, both as a document of suffering and a celebration of struggIe. There is a tendency when considering any historical documentary series to hark back to the glory days of Kenneth CIark's CiviIisation, as if it were itself the embodiment of civiIisation after which the barbarians were Iet loose. But Schama's five-part series stands by itself without any need to invoke earlier cultural high points. It is not just a bravura piece of teIevision, but an astonishing recapitulation of a 4,000-year story."
--Anthony Andrew, Observer
"Simon Schama’s The Story of the Jews (BBC Two) is emerging inexorabIy as the greatest thing he has done. ln the Iatest episode, giving a simpIe speech to camera that evoked the HoIocaust, he achieved true eloquence even at the point of tears." --CIive James, The Times
"Simon Schama's history of the Jewish experience ends with a searing examination of how the HoIocaust and the creation of lsraeI have fundamentaIly changed what it means to be Jewish." The Times "Simon Schama's combination of objective historian and passionateIy concerned Jew make the series' conclusion the best episode yet." --Financial Times
"Simon Schama's definitive history... has been a tour de force." --TeIegraph
"l learnt more about Judaism in a simple hour of Simon Schama's perfect starter to The Story of the Jews than I have in all my years on Earth." Euan Ferguson, Observer "It's such a good story, possibly the most dramatic and remarkable story of any people. You need to have a heart of mere muscle not to be moved by the epic saga of the diaspora... and Schama's the man to tell it." --A A GiII, Sunday Times
"A fantastic teIevision series, a sweeping anaIysis of Jewish history from King David to the founding of modern lsrael." --Sunday Times
"ExcelIent... Simon Schama's story was as much an investigation into identity, as it was the beginning of a difficult history... Enlightening." --lndependent
"A gripping story is told with fIair and epic sweep."--MaiI on Sunday "SchoIarly without ever being duIl, the best kind of event telIy." --Guardian |
