Rezensionen
Citizens: A Chronicle of The French Revolution von Simon Schama
Not quite half the way through -- couldn't quite make it to the pictures. I recently read about Madame de Stael and am interested in the French Revolution. But there was too much detail in this book and somehow not enough about people. Or maybe too much about too many people. In any case, I couldn't connect. What made me finally give up was getting to 14 July. Now that the blood was beginning to flow and heads being put up on pikes and carried around town, I decided it was only going to get worse and so I stopped. To be picked up and tried again another time, perhaps?… (mehr)
wasn't sure my appetite for pandemic information would remain after the whole covid experience, but it does. Schama takes a tour through history ( Even Prehistory) and does a Jared Diamond light exploration of how mankind has been effected by viruses and bacteria . It is interesting and well paced, with bits of color and humor. It is sometimes heavy handed in it's condemnation of the ignorant behavior of the colonizers of old.
