Description

Regarded as a seminal work in the realm of modern historical publishing, Simon Schama's "Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution" stands as the most authoritative social, cultural, and narrative account of the French Revolution ever produced. This monumental tome offers a thought-provoking and stylistically captivating exploration of the initial years of the great Revolution in France, as well as the decades that paved the way for this transformative event.

Eugen Weber of The New York Times Book Review hails it as "provocative and stylish," lauding Schama's "thoughtful, informed and profoundly revisionist" portrayal of this pivotal period. Richard Cobb of The Times declares it "the most marvellous book I have read about the French Revolution," while Bernard Levin of the Sunday Times extols Schama's "matchless understanding, wisdom, pity and truth" in chronicling the vicissitudes of this tumultuous era. Antony Beevor of the Express commends the book for providing "an unrivalled impression of the currents and contradictions" that characterized this "terrible sequence of events."

Simon Schama, a University Professor in Art History and History at Columbia University in New York, is one of Britain's most renowned scholars across disciplines. A prize-winning author of numerous acclaimed works, including "Dead Certainties (Unwarranted Speculations)," "Landscape and Memory," "Rembrandt's Eyes," and three volumes of "A History of Britain," Schama has also gained recognition as the writer-presenter of historical and art-historical documentaries for BBC Television. He resides outside New York City with his wife and children.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart.

In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
