"A towering achievement that demonstrates Schama's finest qualities to exhiIarating effect, it is at once epic yet intimate, inteIlectuaIIy commanding but instantly 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 gIory 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 itself without any need to invoke earlier culturaI high points. lt 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 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 passionateIy concerned Jew make the series' concIusion the best episode yet." --Financial 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 "lt'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 GiII, Sunday Times
"A fantastic teIevision series, a sweeping anaIysis 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 told with flair and epic sweep."--MaiI on Sunday "SchoIarly without ever being dulI, the best kind of event teIly." --Guardian |
