Rembrandt's Eyes

Rembrandt’s Eyes (1999) by British historian Simon Schama is a monumental 750-page cultural history and biography of Dutch Master Rembrandt van Rijn. Set during the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age, Schama recreates the sensory atmosphere, political tensions, ongoing wars with Spain, and strict Calvinism that shaped Rembrandt’s world. Contrasting Rembrandt with his early obsession and rival Peter Paul Rubens, Schama explores how changing patron demands and a revolutionary, tactile painting style defined Rembrandt's work. With few surviving facts about the Leiden miller’s son, Schama demonstrates that his true biography lives within his art. The narrative details his meteoric rise, his deep devotion to his wife Saskia, his bond with Hendrickje Stoffels, and his eventual financial ruin—a downfall so complete he was forced to sell Saskia’s grave.

Seed Corn and Other Short...

Anna Blair, author of best-selling Tea at Miss Cranston's, has written 22 short stories, with very different settings: some in her native Scotland, some in Malaysia where she lived for a few years and others from North America where she has grandchildren. Some of her Scottish stories have a historical context, but most of the stories were prompted by some incident or encounter which left her wondering what might have led up to it, or what might follow. The stories are often deeply touching, but her gentle sense of humour prevents them becoming sentimental. The varied geographical and cultural settings add a richness to the collection.
