PodQueueSimon Schama on Rembrandt's Eyes - The John Adams InstituteOn April 13, 2018, renowned English art historian spoke at the John Adams Institute about his book, Rembrandt’s Eyes. In this book, Schama explores Rembrant’s obsession with and admiration of the Flemish painter, Peter Paul Rubens. It was only after the death of the legendary Rubens that Rembrant discovered his own style, enabling him to breathe new life into historical painting, portraits, nudes, and the art of etching. Rembrandt’s Eyes shows us why Rembrandt is such a thrilling painter and so revolutionary in his art.

Sotheby's TalksPortraiture, with Simon Schama and Eleanor Nairne
Human beings have been making visual depictions of human life for tens of thousands of years.

Human Voices Wake UsBruce Springsteen / Simon Schama / The Iliad (from the archive)An episode from 7/28/23: Tonight's episode looks in on history, creativity, and mourning from three different angles:
In the first part, we hear scattered remarks from Bruce Springsteen over the years, about his low-fi and haunting 1982 album, Nebraska. It is remarkable how the album was made by Springsteen, alone in his bedroom, with a cheap recorder. For someone who bridges and so seamlessly combines music of the fifties, sixties and seventies, Nebraska sounds nearly timeless.
In the second part, I read a small section from Simon Schama's 1995 book, Landscape and Memory. Here, he talks about not just his o...

Life and Art from FT WeekendHistorian Simon Schama wants to make truth sexy againHistorian Sir Simon Schama is one of the most influential public intellectuals of our time. So when he replied to our invitation to come on the show ahead of the US presidential election by saying he wanted to talk about “the unprecedented collapse of truth”, we immediately said yes. It’s been a disorienting presidential campaign. For many Americans, it’s hard to understand how statements which are so clearly untrue – such as the government controls the weather, and sent hurricanes to Republican-leaning states – are working on voters. On today’s show, Simon tells us why the current state of misinformat...

杨照书话杨照谈西门·沙马“犹太人的故事”（四）收听提示（约200-300字）今天要为大家介绍Simon Schama的《犹太人》（内地译《犹太人的故事》）这本书，英文原来的书名叫The Story of the Jews，这是关于犹太人的故事。Simon Schama这位史学家，他自己是一个犹太人，他前言当中告诉我们，从一九七三年，他就已经动过了这样的一个念头：想要写一部关于“犹太人”的历史。 这个背景是来自于从一九四五年纳粹德国被打败了，在战争的过程当中屠杀了六百万犹太人的故事被揭露，因而犹太人的灾难、犹太人的遭遇进入到了欧洲乃至于全世界的人的心灵里面。虽然如此，但是犹太人的故事并没有能够被好好地叙述。这里面有一种Simon Schama称之为“犹太叙事的苍白”，也就意味着想到犹太人就想到了毒气室，想到了集中营就想到了以色列人，想到以色列和中东之间政治上面的冲突，但是犹太人真正的本色，犹太人的特质就像中国人一样，其实是在于它的历史意识，犹太人有非常深远的历史，更重要的是犹太人有一种自我内在文明当中的价值，认为所有的历史都跟当下现在的人是有关系的。所以更完整的犹太人故事，不只是集中营、毒气室和以色列建国之后各种不同的国际现实。 本集书目——《犹太人的故事》 本书将你带到从未想象的地方：南阿拉伯群山中的犹太王国，叙利亚犹太会堂荧光闪烁的墙壁，罗马犹太墓地的棕榈树林。横跨了几千年时间和几个大洲——从埃及到希腊、从阿拉伯到基督教世界、从印度到安达卢西亚、从开罗的集市到牛津的大街、从三大宗教的发源到新月沃土的文明与冲突。书中亦记载了《塔木德》在巴黎街头燃烧，中世纪伦敦街头的大批绞刑架，改造世界的马略卡反射镜，点燃的蜡烛台，吟诵的圣歌，骡队的货物，满载香料和珍宝的海船……Simon Schama，生于1945年，犹太裔英国人，英国著名历史学家、学术明星、哥伦比亚大学历史学教授、艺术史教授。他先后在剑桥大学、牛津大学、哈佛大学任教，自1993年至今在哥伦比亚大学历史系任教。他编写并主持过数十本畅销著作及纪录片，作品曾获众多奖项，包括：沃夫森历史奖、W.H.史密斯文学奖、全美书评人协会奖、艾美奖等重量及奖项。《犹太人的故事：寻找失落的字符（公元前1000年—公元1492年）》获得塞缪尔·约翰逊奖(Samuel Johnson Prize)，该奖项是英国针对非小说类图书设立的地位最高的一个奖项。
