About This Item
Ecco, 2013. First edition (2013.) Hardcover with dust jacket. 8vo with 496 pages. Signed on the half title page, "Simon Schama." The book and dust jacket are in very good condition. Interior is clean and tight. Illustrated. Pictures available upon request."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 experience, tracing it across three millennia, from their beginnings as an ancient tribal people to the opening of the New World in 1492 to the modern day... What I most like about Schama’s book was the emphasis on the tangible. He concentrates on archeological discoveries, surviving papyrus letters and fragments, the ruins of ancient synagogue, their styles, locations and decorations, in other words, things that can be seen, felt, read." White spine/Gold-Blue text. . Signed. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. History of Judaism / Jewish.
