‎Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution‎

‎New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1989. 4th Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 4th printing. Lightly rubbed. 1989 Trade Paperback. xx 976 pp. "Instead of the dying Old Regime Schama presents an ebullient country vital and inventive infatuated with novelty and technology--a strikingly fresh view of Louis XVI's France." "This well-written thoroughly documented book should be on every high-school library shelf. It explains the self-destructive bloody orgy that occurred in France but not in England or Prussia countries in similar states of poverty and with similarly deprived disenfranchised populaces. Schama theorizes that the cause of France's revolution lies in the self-deception of the ruling intelligentsia who believed that they could make a Utopian France by allowing controlled violence murder and the destruction of property in the name of liberty and all to exist simultaneously with good government. Schama presents Talleyrand Lafayette and others with more understanding than they are given in most histories setting them amidst a web of violence of their own making. This book speaks to today's world as nations strive to move from despotism to democracy." -- School Library Journal.

‎Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Over the River: Project for the Arkansas River State of Colorado‎

‎Hong Kong Los Angeles: Taschen 2008. Hardcover. VG/VG- dust jacket has light wear. White paper over boards with blue lettering; Color illus. dj.; 180 pp.; Profusely illustrated in bw and color. Chronicles this extensive project from initial drawings and photos to construction tests technical data and the permit process; Includes three essays as well as an interview with the artists conducted by Jonathan Fineberg. In 1992 the infamous environmental installation artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude took their first trip west in search of a site for a new temporary artwork--in this case a stream of successive transluscent fabric panels that would be suspended for two summer weeks across the banks of a Rocky Mountain river high enough above the water to allow kayakers rafters or pedestrians to drift along below it and close enough to a road that the piece could be approached and enjoyed by car or bus. On subsequent trips they investigated the headwaters of 89 rivers in six states logging 14000 miles onto their odometer until they finally settled on a site along the Arkansas River in the state of Colorado. Then they began the arduous process of getting permission from all of the necessary local bureaurocracies and activist groups. This book documents the process from 1992 until 2005 at which point the artists were still only halfway there. The project will not come to fruition until the year 2010 at the earliest. As with all previous projects Over the River is financed entirely by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through the sale of preparatory work. These drawings lithographs collages and scale models are presented here together with comprehensive documentary photographs. Taschen hardcover books‎

‎Certitudes meurtrières, accompagnées de quelques spéculations.‎

‎Seuil, 1996, in-8°, 284 pp, traduit de l'américain, 21 illustrations, sources, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎Un historien mène l’enquête. Simon Schama n’a que deux certitudes, le reste pourrait bien n’être que spéculations hasardeuses. Première certitude : Québec, 1759. Le général Wolfe a trouvé la mort face aux Français sur le champ de bataille. Londres, 1771, à la Royal Academy. Le peintre a spéculé sur la lumière qui baigne le visage du vainqueur-martyr rendant l’âme entre ses aides de camps. Immense succès mondain. Benjamin West se spécialisera désormais dans les agonies héroïques. Le général a-t-il eu vraiment le bon goût de trépasser avec un tel décorum ? A supposer que le peintre soit l’auteur de toute cette mise en scène, le crime profiterait sans doute à l’Empire britannique dont l’étoile montante exige icônes et allégories... Seconde certitude : Harvard, 1948. Le Dr Parkman, aliéniste, rejetons excentrique d’une grande famille de Boston, disparaît après avoir acheté une laitue et collecté ses loyers. La police n’écarte aucune hypothèse et les langues vont bon train. Les soupçons se portent bientôt sur un collègue professeur de chimie, locataire impécunieux de la victime. John Webster a-t-il vraiment tué ? On n’a contre lui que des présomptions. Et déjà le jeu des pouvoirs en présence s’emploie à changer le voisin, l’ami, le familier en un monstre étrange et ténébreux. A qui profiterait ce crime-là ? Peut-être à l’establishment universitaire, imbu de sa vertu, désarmé face à la crise sociale et morale qui s’annonce, soucieux de masquer son désarroi par un cérémonial d’exclusion du bouc émissaire... Ces deux nouvelles historiques nous captivent à l’égal du thriller le plus efficace. Nous avons en main les pièces à conviction, le dossier complet présentés avec brio, humour, humanité. A vous de juger, semble nous dire l’auteur. Mais lorsque Simon Schama assassine les certitudes avec préméditation, le crime profite au lecteur. Désormais les frais d'envoi sont de 6 € seulement pour les livres jusqu'à 1 kg (colissimo suivi), pour la France métropolitaine.‎

‎Rembrandt's Eyes‎

‎Alfred A. Knopf 1999. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/As New. Like New For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. For Rembrandt As For Shakespeare All The World Was Indeed A Stage And He Knew In Exhaustive Detail The Tactics Of Its Performance; The Strutting And Mincing; The Wardrobe And The Face Paint; The Full Repertoire Of Gesture And Grimace; The Flutter Of Hands And The Roll Of The Eyes; The Belly Laugh And The Half-Stifled Sob. He Knew What It Looked Like To Seduce To Intimidate To Wheedle And To Console; To Strike A Pose Or Preach A Sermon; To Shake A Fist Or Uncover A Breast; How To Sin And How To Atone; How To Commit Murder And How To Commit Suicide. No Artist Had Ever Been So Fascinated By The Fashioning Of Personae Beginning With His Own. No Painter Ever Looked With Such Unsparing Intelligence Or Such Bottomless Compassion At Our Entrances And Our Exits And The Whole Rowdy Show In Between. More Than Three Centuries After His Death Rembrandt Remains The Most Deeply Loved Of All The Great Masters Of Painting His Face So Familiar To Us From The Self-Portraits Painted At Every Stage In His Life Yet Still So Mysterious. As With Shakespeare The Facts Of His Life Are Hard To Come By; The Leiden Miller's Son Who Briefly Found Fame In Amsterdam Whose Genius Was Fitfully Recognized By His Contemporaries Who Fell Into Bankruptcy And Died In Poverty. So There Is Probably No Other Painter Whose Life Has Engendered More Legends Nor To Whom More Unlikely Pictures Have Been Attributed A Process Now Undergoing Rigorous Reversal. Rembrandt's Eyes About Which Simon Schama Has Been Thinking For More Than Twenty Years Shows That The True Biography Of Rembrandt Is To Be Discovered In His Pictures. Though A Succession Of Superbly Incisive Descriptions And Interpretations Of Rembrandt's Paintings Threaded Into His Narrative He Allows Us To See Rembrandt's Life Clearly And To Think About It Afresh. But This Book Moves Far Beyond The Bounds Of Conventional Biography Or Art History. With Extraordinary Imaginative Sympathy Schama Conjures Up The World In Which Rembrandt Moved -- Its Sounds Smells And Tastes As Well As Its Politics; The Influences On Him Of The Wars Of The Protestant United Provinces Against Spain Of The Extreme Calvinism Of His Native Leiden Of The Demands Of Patrons And The Ambitions Of Contemporaries; The Importance Of His Beloved Saskia And After Her Death Rembrandt Was Later Forced To Sell Her Grave So Complete Was His Ruin Of His Mistress Hendrickje Stoffels; And Above All The Profound Effect On Him Of The Great Master Of The Immediately Preceding Generation The Catholic Painter From Antwerp Peter Paul Rubens: "The Prince Of Painters And The Painter Of Princes" With Whom Rembrandt Was Obsessed For The First Part Of His Life And Whose Career Was The Shaping Force That Drove Rembrandt To Test The Farthest Reaches Of His Own Originality. Rembrandt's Eyes Shows Us Why Rembrandt Is Such A Thrilling Painter So Revolutionary In His Art So Penetrating Of The Hearts Of Those Who Have Looked For Three Hundred Years At His Pictures. Above All Schama's Understanding Of Rembrandt's Mind And The Dynamic Of His Life Allows Him To Re-Create Rembrandt's Life On The Page. Through A Combination Of Scholarship And Literary Skill Schama Allows Us To Actually See That Life Through Rembrandt's Own Eyes. In Overcoming The Paucity Of Conventional Historical Evidence It Is The Most Intelligently True Biography Of Rembrandt That Has Ever Been Written And The Most Dazzling Achievement To Date Of The Art Historian Whose Work Has Been Hailed As "Marvelously Rich And Eloquent" . "Rare Imaginative" . "Provocative" . "Astoundingly Learned With Verve Humor And An Unflagging Sense Of Delight" . That Of "A Master Storyteller . And A Master Of History." Quotes From The New York Times Book Review Time The New York Times The Independent On Sunday And Nature Respecti <br/> <br/> Alfred A. Knopf hardcover‎
