The Story of the Jews Volume Two: Belonging: 1492-1900 ― An Illustrated Cultural History of the Jewish People - Softcover
Book 2 of 2: The Story of the Jews
Synopsis
In the second volume of this magnificently illustrated cultural history, the tie-in to the PBS and BBC series The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama details the story of the Jewish people from 1492 through the end of nineteenth century.
A sweeping work of narrative history, volume two of this epic incorporates the stories of many who seldom figure in Jewish histories: not just the rabbis and the philosophers but a poetess in the ghetto of Venice; a boxer in Georgian England; a Bible showman in Amsterdam; a teacher of the deaf in eighteenth-century Germany. The story of the Jewish diaspora unfolds in Kerala and Mantua, the starlit hills of Galilee, the rivers of Colombia, the kitchens of Istanbul, the taverns of Ukraine and the mining camps of California. It sails in caravels, rides the stagecoaches and the railways; trudges the dawn streets of London, hobbles along with the remnant of Napoleon’s ruined army. Through Schama’s passionate and intelligent telling, a story emerges of the Jewish people that feels as if it is the story of everyone, of humanity packed with detail.
Schama’s history is a global tapestry woven from the threads of individual lives:
- Lost Tribes and Messianic Hope: Follow the incredible journeys of figures like David Ha-Reuveni, the self-proclaimed prince from a lost Israelite kingdom, as messianic fervor sweeps through Renaissance Europe.
- Escape from the Inquisition: Witness the daring escape of the powerful Mendes family, led by the legendary Doņa Gracia Nasi, as they navigate a treacherous path from Portugal to the safety of the Ottoman Empire.
- A Wider Cultural History: Discover the stories of those often left out of Jewish history―from a poetess in the Venetian ghetto and a boxer in Georgian England to a Bible showman in Amsterdam.
- A Truly Global Story: Journey from the rivers of Colombia and the kitchens of Istanbul to the mining camps of California, tracing the vibrant, surprising, and resilient threads of the Jewish people across the world.
