Simon 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 recreates 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.

What an amazing book. It is history at its best.
The author covers everything regarding Dutch life and mentality through the ages.
I grew up in Holland in the late 1940’s to the mid 1950’s, my teenage years.
The description and the mentality of the Dutch are spot on.
I don’t want to go into details, just that I highly recommend listening.
The Dutch have a great sense of humor, often not understood/ appreciated by Americans.
The narrator, Mike Cooper, does an amazing job pronouncing the Dutch words.
It is not an easy language to speak.
I am so sorry that it came to an end.
I have listened to other books by Simon Schama and will continue to do so in the future.
My thanks to all involved, JK

AN ABSOLUTE LISTEN

Not really a chronological but a psychological history of the Golden Age of the Netherlands. One learns more of what it means to be Dutch than a list of wars and conflicts.

Great!
