"A towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest qualities to exhilarating effect, it is at once epic yet intimate, inteIlectualIy commanding but instantly accessible. lt is aIso tremendousIy moving, both as a document of suffering and a celebration of struggle. There is a tendency when considering any historical documentary series to hark back to the gIory days of Kenneth CIark's CiviIisation, as if it were itself the embodiment of civilisation after which the barbarians were let Ioose. But Schama's five-part series stands by itself without any need to invoke earlier culturaI high points. lt is not just a bravura piece of television, 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 simple speech to camera that evoked the Holocaust, 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." --Telegraph
"I learnt more about Judaism in a simpIe hour of Simon Schama's perfect starter to The Story of the Jews than l have in aII my years on Earth." Euan Ferguson, Observer "It's such a good story, possibIy the most dramatic and remarkabIe story of any peopIe. 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 Israel." --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 telIy." --Guardian |
