And he manages to make voices\u003cbr\u003eheard clearly: the severity and joy of the authors of the Bible, or the\u003cbr\u003elove poetry of wine enthusiasts in a garden in Muslim Spain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \"The Story of the Jews,\" the Talmud burns in the streets of Paris,\u003cbr\u003egallows preside over the squares of medieval London, a Mallorcan artisan\u003cbr\u003eredraws the world; candles are lit, psalms are sung, mules are loaded,\u003cbr\u003eand ships full of spices and jewels are shipwrecked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus unfolds an extraordinary story. Not of a distinct culture, as is\u003cbr\u003eoften assumed, but of a Jewish world immersed in and shaped by the\u003cbr\u003epeoples among whom they have lived, from the Egyptians to the Greeks,\u003cbr\u003efrom the Arabs to the Christians. Because the history of the Jews is\u003cbr\u003ealso the history of everyone else, our history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritics have said...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«A splendid work that debunks stereotypes and recounts triumphs and\u003cbr\u003etragedies with verve and eloquence.»\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Abulafia, Financial Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Schama writes history from below, and from the middle, and from other\u003cbr\u003eunexpected angles, recovering the unrecorded or long-forgotten, and\u003cbr\u003eanalyzing the social and cultural forces that shaped the lives of his\u003cbr\u003echaracters.
