The story of the Jews : finding the words : 1000 BCE-1492 CE / Simon Schama. by Schama, Simon. Allen Lane, 2014. Call #: 909.04924 S299s Subjects Jews -- History.   Jews -- Civilization.   Jews -- Civilization -- History. ISBN:  9780670069798 (hc.) Description:  [xvi], 496 p., [24] p. of plates : ill. 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy amid grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds. The first of two volumes, The Story of the Jews spans the millennia and the continents—from India to Andalusia and from the bazaars of Cairo to the streets of Oxford. It takes readers to unimagined places: 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 writers of the Bible to the love poems of wine bibbers in a garden in Muslim Spain."--From publisher.
