In 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, tracing their experience across three millennia, from their beginnings as an ancient tribal people to the opening of the new world in 1492

It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance in the face of destruction, of creativity in the face of oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life despite the steepest of odds.

It spans the millennia and the continents—from India to Andalusia and from the bazaars of Cairo to the streets of Oxford. It takes you to unimagined places: to a Jewish kingdom in the mountains of southern Arabia; a Syrian synagogue glowing with radiant wall paintings; the palm groves of the Jewish dead in the Roman catacombs. And its voices ring loud and clear, from the severities and ecstasies of the Bible writers to the love poems of wine bibbers in a garden in Muslim Spain.

In The Story of the Jews, the Talmud burns in the streets of Paris, massed gibbets hang over the streets of medieval London, a Majorcan illuminator redraws the world; candles are lit, chants are sung, mules are packed, ships loaded with gems and spices founder at sea.

And a great story unfolds. Not—as often imagined—of a culture apart, but of a Jewish world immersed in and imprinted by the peoples among whom they have dwelled, from the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Arabs to the Christians.

Which makes the story of the Jews everyone's story, too.

‘Story of the Jews’ written by Simon Schama is well-researched book that on its five hundred pages provides a good overview of Jewish history over a period of 2500 years.

When I saw the title of this book I was a bit surprised how such a long history period the author managed to compress in the still respectable 500 pages book, and how readable it would be to someone who does not consider himself a detailed scholar of Jewish history, but approaches to the subject as a historical enthusiast.

The answer is that the author successfully found the middle ground, his book is easy and interesting to read, but still offers wealth of information that pushes it toward academic kind of work, although does not come fully to such level, probably intentionally to remain interesting to a wider audience.

Simon Schama will lead reader on a journey not only through long periods of time, but also the three continents where this story is taking place – Africa, Asia and Europe.

Through the book the reader will not only learn a lot about the history of the Jews, but also about the times, systems, governments and countries where Jews lived through history and were usually persecuted – such as Rome, Paris and London – while Schama manages to skillfully evokes the atmosphere and different times passing through the exciting and often tragic Jewish history.

Therefore ‘Story of the Jews’ can be considered a good book for readers who do not want to go very deep in every epoch because any book that will try to achieve that goal will be equally large as this, but he was interested to provide an overview of a nation history.
