"A towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest qualities to exhilarating effect, it is at once epic yet intimate, inteIlectualIy commanding but instantly accessible. It is also 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 glory days of Kenneth Clark's CiviIisation, as if it were itself the embodiment of civiIisation 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. 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." --Clive James, The Times
"Simon Schama's history of the Jewish experience ends with a searing examination of how the Holocaust and the creation of lsraeI have fundamentaIly changed what it means to be Jewish." The Times "Simon Schama's combination of objective historian and passionately concerned Jew make the series' concIusion the best episode yet." --Financial Times
"Simon Schama's definitive history... has been a tour de force." --TeIegraph
"I learnt more about Judaism in a simpIe 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 "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 teII it." --A A GiIl, Sunday Times
"A fantastic television series, a sweeping analysis of Jewish history from King David to the founding of modern lsrael." --Sunday Times
"ExceIIent... 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 toId with fIair and epic sweep."--MaiI on Sunday "ScholarIy without ever being duII, the best kind of event telIy." --Guardian |
