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.
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.
In The Story of the Jews, 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.

Thanks so much! I’ve waited for this one… any chance of Vol. II?

Oops. Don’t know if you’re aware that this one is copy protected AAX, majority of folks won’t be able to wrangle it. Second volume you posted is in friendly MB4.

@count marco: no, the AAX was the first upload. Kam deleted that and this is an M4B.
@kam1997: Thanks for converting the files. However, you uploaded these again in the “Other” category, incorrect and also leaving them open to the trollish comments that any book involving Israel or Palestine attracts.
If you can delete and re-up the same torrents under the History category it woud prevent those, otherwise we have to clean up the garbage reactively, which is pretty annoying.
Again, please join the forum so we can assist and communicate directly.
