Vintage Books, 8 dec. 1997 - 698 pagina's
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

Review: The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age

Gebruikersrecensie  - Stephen - Goodreads

Assumes a lot of knowledge. Refers to events and persons without much in the way of background explanation. Also, while Dutch words are translated to English, French and Latin are not. Interesting ... Volledige recensie lezen

Gebruikersrecensie  - Matt - Goodreads

Wow, this book is dense. Really good artwork and some really detailed information about Holland and its empire in the 1600s...but this is one of those books that after you read it, you'll wonder why ... Volledige recensie lezen
