Simon Schama is University Professor of Art History and History at Columbia University in New York. His publications include Patriots and Liberators, The Embarrassment of Riches, Citizens, Dead Certainties, Landscape and Memory, and Rembrandt's Eyes.
Schama explores the mysterious contradictions of the Dutch nation that invented itself from the ground up, attained an unprecedented level of affluence, and lived in constant dread of being corrupted by happiness. Drawing on a vast array of period documents and sumptuously reproduced art, Schama re-creates in precise detail a nation's mental state. He tells of bloody uprisings and beached whales, of the cult of hygiene and the plague of tobacco, of thrifty housewives and profligate tulip-speculators. He tells us how the Dutch celebrated themselves and how they were slandered by their enemies.
"History on the grand scale...An ambitious portrait of one of the most remarkable episodes in modern history."--New York Times
"Wonderfully inclusive; with wit and intense curiosity he teases out meaning from every aspect of Dutch seventeenth-century life."--Robert Hughes

極端牛B, 寫荷蘭巴洛剋的必用神書。雖說其實主要就是本socio-history的書,但語言很棒,不枯燥。
評分此書大好,怪不得那麼多人引用。語言流暢,還帶有那麼多圖版!關鍵是,卓越亞馬遜就可以買到。
評分新文化史寫作十七世紀荷蘭文化、藝術、風俗及市民中層世界觀的典範佳作,相見恨晚!
