1.A Tale of Two CitiesA Tale of Two Cities
from Vintage
Price: $0.43

Customer Review:
Prior to this book, the only book that I had read for the author was Oliver Twist, and that was because it was required material in school. Once I read this book I truly regretted never having read more books for the author. His style is simply amazing. The author introduces us to different... more info

Customer Review:
This is an interesting and important book that hits topics of war, religion, race, and immigration to bring us up the present (election of 2008). These are fascintaing topics that are well covered - Schama plainly knows his stuff.

from Vintage
Price: $13.71

Customer Review:
This is one of the best written works of historical fiction that I've run across. Simon Schama captures the spirit of the French Revolution so well that I found myself dreaming that I was part of it all, complete with vivid colors and other treats for the senses! He weaves together very well the... more info

4.Landscape And MemoryLandscape And Memory
from Vintage
Price: $16.36

Customer Review:
You can keep coming back to this brilliant, reflective book. It's a real work of art in itself, not simply history. How does nature become a cultural phenomenon? There are so many angles and Schama cleverly crafts them around the themes of wood, water and rock. From Classical times through to the... more info

from Vintage
Price: $13.88

Customer Review:
This book is execellent but it is definately not light reading. It offers a deep, profound anlyses but it also requires the reader to have at least some preliminary knowledge of the covered period and art process in general.

6.Rough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American RevolutionRough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American Revolution
from Harper Perennial
Price: $3.99

Customer Review:
This is a jam packed book of historical drama that often goes unnoticed by the majority of history surveys. It should be required reading in American history classes as it connects the slave population to the Britain and sheds some light on the appearance of the patriots as enslaved people enslaving... more info

8.A History of Britain : At the Edge of the World, 3500 B.C.-1603 A.DA History of Britain : At the Edge of the World, 3500 B.C.-1603 A.D
Price: $22.91

Customer Review:
This is a well-written, well-researched book. It succeeds in avoiding the trap that many historians fall into of mistaking a neutral tone with a boring one; the author frequently injects a note of wry humor by a turn of phrase that will catch the reader somewhat off-guard: "But although the poets... more info

9.Rembrandt s EyesRembrandt's Eyes
from Knopf

Customer Review:
There is no better writer about art or art history than Simon Schama. He helps me see things and then I think "Of course, why didn't I think of that" He has a way of making obscure things clear. All of his books are first rate.

10.Dead Certainties: Unwarranted SpeculationsDead Certainties: Unwarranted Speculations
from Vintage
Price: $9.50

Customer Review:
This was most likely a failed attempt at selling some more copies. Being a student of history myself I understand the "truth" that historians do not know exactly what happened in the past. They do, however, attempt to reconstruct the events in the past and offer some explanation as to why they... more info
