Simon Schama, one of the world’s most beloved writers, presents a selection of fifty essays which span decades and encompass the famed author’s love for a variety of fields. Writing, for Schama, is intoxication and this selection of works highlights the versatility, beauty and nostalgic effect this medium can have on both the writer and the reader. Arts, politics, food and life, in general, are among the themes of Schama’s essays, and readers will be swept off their feet by his decadent use of the English language as his thoughtfulness inspires them.
