Volume I: In cerca delle parole. Dalle origini al 1492 Nel giugno del 1242, a Parigi, davanti a una folla urlante e a frati raccolti in preghiera, migliaia di pergamene inchiostrate recanti lettere ebraiche arsero sulle pire scoppiettanti diffondendo lungo le rive della Senna un dolciastro fetore animale. Sui roghi, innalzati per volontà di re Luigi IX il Santo, avvampavano le copie del Talmud. La parola di Dio, proprio come i corpi viventi che cadevano tra le braccia dell'Inquisizione, bruciava nelle fiamme. Iniziava così, per il Popolo del Libro, un'altra pagina della sua storia millenaria di sofferenze e persecuzioni. Eppure, come ci ricorda Simon Schama, docente alla Columbia University, questa storia non si consumò solo nel lutto e nelle fughe improvvise, nelle costanti minacce di annientamento e nell'oppressione. Quella del popolo ebraico è soprattutto una storia di resistenza, di creatività, di gioia. Una continua, e a tratti disperata, affermazione della vita sulle avversità più spaventose. In queste pagine si dipana quindi una straordinaria epopea, fatta di gente comune e di poeti, di autori biblici e medici illustri, di miniaturisti e mercanti, di cartografi e filosofi. Un caleidoscopio di microstorie in cui si accendono candele, si intonano canti, si affrontano viaggi perigliosi in terre incognite alla ricerca di spezie e pietre preziose, si studiano, si custodiscono e si perpetuano le parole del Libro. Un racconto entusiasmante, che abbraccia millenni e continenti, dalla Persia all'Andalusia, dai bazar del Cairo alle rovine struggenti del Tempio di Gerusalemme, e che ci conduce in luoghi mai immaginati - un regno ebraico fra le montagne dell'Arabia meridionale, una sinagoga siriana risplendente di radiose pitture murali, un deposito di manoscritti nell'antica Fustat, i palmeti dei defunti ebrei nelle catacombe romane - dove, nonostante le persecuzioni e la paura, la tolleranza e la convivenza erano a volte possibili. Attraverso le lettere, i poemi, i dipinti, le opere filosofiche, oltre ai testi sacri dell'ebraismo, La storia degli ebrei di Simon Schama, studioso dallo stile brillante ed erudito, ci restituisce il vivido affresco di un mondo che non - come troppo spesso si è immaginato - una cultura a parte, bensì una realtà profondamente radicata nelle vicende delle popolazioni fra cui si è insediata, dagli egizi ai greci, dai persiani ai cristiani. Una storia del popolo ebraico che è anche storia di tutti.

It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life against 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. Within these pages, 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 spice and gems 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.

A passionate history of Judaism; a world unfolding across many continents and five centuries by one of our greatest and internationally bestselling historians. Belonging is a magnificent cultural history abundantly alive with energy, character and colour. From the Jews’ expulsion from Spain in 1492 it tells the stories not just of rabbis and philosophers but of a poetess in the ghetto of Venice; a boxer in Georgian England; a general in Ming China; an opera composer in nineteenth-century Germany. The story unfolds in Kerala and Mantua, the starlit hills of Galilee, the rivers of Colombia, the kitchens of Istanbul, the taverns of Ukraine and the mining camps of California. It sails in caravels, rides the stage coaches and the railways; trudges the dawn streets of London, hobbles along with the remnant of Napoleon’s ruined army. The Jewish story is a history that is about, and for, all of us. And in our own time of anxious arrivals and enforced departures, the Jews’ search for a home is more startlingly resonant than ever. ‘A magnificent achievement...’ Jonathan Freedland, Guardian ‘An extraordinary cultural journey, filled with astonishingly colourful and outrageous characters ... Schama delivers a superb and thrilling ride, both inspirational and tragic’ Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday

In the second of two volumes of 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, spanning from their expulsion from Spain during the Inquisition across six hundred years to the present day. It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in the face of oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds. It spans the centuries and the continents—from the Iberian Peninsula and the collapse of “the golden age” to the shtetls of Russia to the dusty streets of infant Hollywood. Its voices ring loud and clear, from the philosophical musings of Spinoza to the poetry written on slips of paper in concentration camps. Within these pages, the Enlightenment unfolds, a great diaspora transforms a country, a Viennese psychiatrist forever changes the conception of the human mind. And a great story unfolds. Not—as often imagined—of a people apart, but of a Jewish culture immersed in and imprinted by the peoples among whom they have dwelled. Which, as Simon Schama so brilliantly demonstrates, makes the story of the Jews everyone’s story, too. The Story of the Jews Volume 2 features 24 pages of color photos, numerous maps, and printed endpapers.

The words that failed were words of hope. But they did not fail at all times and everywhere. These gripping pages teem with words of defiance and optimism, sounds and images of tenacious life and adventurous modernism, music and drama, business and philosophy, poetry and politics. The second part of Simon Schama's epic Story of the Jews is neither overwhelmed by hopelessness nor shrouded in the smoke of the crematoria. As much as it gives full weight to the magnitude of the disaster that befell the Jews, it is a story of hope vindicated rather than wiped out. The stories unfold across the world in the provincial pavilions of Ming China and beneath the brass chandeliers of Rembrandt's Amsterdam; on ships and carts, stage-coaches and railway trains crossing oceans and continents; in the honky-tonk of San Francisco and the pampas of Argentina, the department stores of Berlin and the avenues of Trieste. The stories themselves are played on the stage of opera houses; in the travelling camera of an expedition in Ukraine, the prison cells of Stalin's Russia, the lagers of the Holocaust; the scenery of misery and redemption in Palestine and Israel. At the heart of the story is the budding belief that peoples of different faiths, customs and cultures can be fellow-citizens of a common country. And amidst all the brutality, somehow the light of Jewish endurance is never extinguished. The odyssey is unforgettable, the storyteller impassioned, the words unfailing. "
