Description
Belonging: The Story of the Jews 1492-1900
A sweeping cultural history that spans five centuries and multiple continents, this book tells the stories of a diverse group of individuals who have shaped the Jewish experience. From the expulsion from Spain to the search for a home in the modern world, Simon Schama's narrative is a rich tapestry of energy, character and colour.
Through the lives of a poetess in Venice, a boxer in England, a general in China and an opera composer in Germany, among others, Schama brings to life the Jewish story in all its complexity and diversity. This is a history that is about, and for, all of us, and its themes of belonging and identity are more resonant than ever in our own time.
