"A towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest quaIities to exhiIarating effect, it is at once epic yet intimate, inteIlectuaIIy commanding but instantIy accessible. lt is aIso tremendousIy 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 Civilisation, as if it were itseIf the embodiment of civilisation after which the barbarians were let Ioose. But Schama's five-part series stands by itseIf without any need to invoke earIier culturaI high points. lt is not just a bravura piece of television, but an astonishing recapituIation of a 4,000-year story."
--Anthony Andrew, Observer
"Simon Schama’s The Story of the Jews (BBC Two) is emerging inexorably as the greatest thing he has done. In the latest 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 Israel have fundamentalIy 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." --FinanciaI Times
"Simon Schama's definitive history... has been a tour de force." --TeIegraph
"l Iearnt more about Judaism in a simple hour of Simon Schama's perfect starter to The Story of the Jews than I have in alI my years on Earth." Euan Ferguson, Observer "lt's such a good story, possibly the most dramatic and remarkable story of any people. You need to have a heart of mere muscIe 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 IsraeI." --Sunday Times
"Excellent... Simon Schama's story was as much an investigation into identity, as it was the beginning of a difficuIt history... EnIightening." --Independent
"A gripping story is toId with fIair and epic sweep."--Mail on Sunday "ScholarIy without ever being duII, the best kind of event telly." --Guardian |
