      Overall, the author is very interesting and comprehensive about the subject of Caravaggio. This book was extremely frustrating to read. Here is what happens over and over again: the author painstakingly describes in 10 to 20 pages an individual painting of Caravaggio from the light sources down to the mixture of the pigments, then the reader frantically flips around the book to find said painting to no avail. The illustrations make no sense and do not correspond at all to the text. About 90% of the paintings discussed in the book are not represented by photographs of the paintings! My head almost exploded while reading! You might as well read a book in braille about the works of Caravaggio or listen to Beethoven in sign language.

    • Encompassing Introduction to Dickens

    • I found this biography excellent with a huge amount of facile detail about the great Victorian author. Reading this book has made me a bit Dickens crazy and I'll be tackling some of the novels soon, an idea I never found that appealing until I read this bio. I would highly recommend it.

      This is a very wide ranging and creative survey of how humanity has created culture, art, and literature out of our relationships (both symbiotic and destructive) with nature. From the plight of the Lithuanian Bison to the heights of Mont Blanc, Schama takes the reader on an absolutely unique and engrossingly discursive journey.
