SIMON SCHAMA (1945-). EUGÈNE DABEKAUSSEN.

Overvloed en onbehagen: de Nederlandse cultuur in de Gouden Eeuw.

Amsterdam : Contact, 2001. Geïllustreerd. Paperback. 8vo. 682 pp. Index. Met lit. opg. en reg. Vert. van:The embarrassment of riches. - New York : Knopf, 1987. (Naam op schutblad. Mooi eexemplaar). De Engelse historicus Simon Schama heeft met Overvloed en onbehagen een sociale en culturele geschiedenis geschreven waarin hij onderzoekt hoe een aantal boerendorpen, vissersplaatsen en havensteden zonder gemeenschappelijke taal, godsdienst of regering zich in de zeventiende eeuw kon verenigen tot de Republiek der Nederlanden. NBD|Biblion recensie: De Britse historicus Simon Schama geeft een briljant portret van volkskarakter, zeden en gewoonten van de Nederlanders in de Gouden Eeuw. Hij baseert zijn omvangrijke werk op ongewone bronnen als schilderijen, prenten, versieringen, gedichten en versjes. Onze volksziel kenmerkt(e) zich door een voortdurende gewetenswroeging over onze zelfvoldaanheid, waaruit een curieuze, paradoxale mentaliteit ontstond van 'praal en ingetogenheid, zwier en soberheid'. Een paradox die ook de moraal van de hervormde kerk niet kon opheffen. Schama weet zijn interpretaties van bijvoorbeeld Nederlandse liefdadigheidsloterijen en van stoepschrobwoede samen te voegen tot een boeiend en kloppend totaalbeeld - misschien zelfs iets te kloppend. De Nederlandse vertaling is uitstekend. In deze paperbackeditie zijn alle illustraties in zwart-wit; zeer kleine druk. (Biblion recensie, Redactie). (ISBN/EAN: 9025405142)

The American Future. A History.

London England, The Bodley Head, 2008. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 9781847920003 Hardback Hardback. First Edition. Price clipped to D/J. With the election in November 2008 of a new president, the United States has embarked on an intense slef-examination about the trajctory of its history; how it came to find itself in multiple crises and how an America that began as 'the last, best hope of earth' came to be so suspected and vilified around much of the world. This book, written by an author who has spent half his life there, takes the long view of how the United States has come to this anguished moment of truth about its own identity as a nation and its place in the world. It discusses the most compelling issues facing Americans now - and traces the deep history of the present crisis. Cumulatively the chapters build into a history of American exceptionalism - the 'American difference' that means so much to its people but which has let it into calamities as well as triumohs. One of those differences historically has been the capacity to renew and rebuild the nation at times when it seemed overwhelmed bu disaster. 1932 and 1976 were such moments; 2008 is another, when the fate of America, and by extension the world, is hanging in the balance. This book argues that if you want to know what is truly at stake, you need to absorb these stories and understand the history - for understanding is the condition of hope. Illustrated. 392 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .

Vintage 2009 Paperback, 384pp. "In November 2008 the United States elected a new President. But the collapse of twenty years of Republican conservativism means the country is already conducting an intense self-examination about the trajectory of its history; how it came to find itself in multiple crises and how an America that began as 'the last best hope for mankind' came to be so suspected and vilified around much of the world. * The American Future: A History, written by an author who has spent half his life there, takes the long view of how the United States has come to this anguished moment of truth about its own identity as a nation and its place in the world. * In each of the chapters devoted to the most compelling issues facing Americans now the projection of power ('American war') ; race, immigration and the problematic promise of e pluribus unum ('American skin'); the intensity of religious conviction in public life ('American fervour') ; the mystique of American land ('American Space') and its battles with the imperatives of profit - Schama traces the deep history of the present crisis. * Cumulatively the chapters build into a history of American exceptionalism the 'American difference' that means so much to its people but which has led it into calamities as well as triumphs. * The American Future: A History argues that if you want to know what is truly at stake, you need to absorb these stories and understand this history for understanding is the condition of hope.
