The Story of the Jews dazzles with the art and alchemy of an adventure novel.&#x201D; (Washington Post)&#x201C;In his engaging, stylistic prose, the author proceeds chronologically and delves into fascinating personal stories that reveal the Jewish experience...A fluid history lesson from an always engaging guide.&#x201D; (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))&#x201C;A technicolor blockbuster.&#x201D; (The Spectator (U.K))&#x201C;Remarkable&#x2026; [a] glittering gemstone of a book.&#x201D; (The Times (UK))&#x201C;Profoundly illuminating.&#x201D; (The Observer (London))&#x201C;Immensely erudite and compulsively readable.&#x201D; (New Statesman)&#x201C;A magnificent achievement.&#x201D; (The Guardian)&#x201C;Magisterial...Wonderfully rich...Superb...In the company of Schama -- one of the finest writers and&#xA0;thinkers of his generation -- we are guaranteed a guide both insightful and eloquent.&#x201D; (Daily Telegraph (London))&#x201C;Magisterial... With astonishing range and extraordinary synthesising powers, Schama captures the drama of Jewish History.... Between the poles of their regular, unannounced acculturation and anti-Semitism lay Jewish life in all its vibrant, messy and colourful forms.&#x201D; (Financial Times)&#x201C;Schama is a remarkable storyteller. His approach is cinematic. . .&#xA0; A riveting picture, generously rendered . . . Schama has made an eloquent and a far-reaching case for why Jews needed a small piece of earth they could call home.&#x201D; (New York Times Book Review)
