Bubbling wit... Zeldin makes life exciting for the reader. It is like being on some careering fair-ground ride that whirls you from one limelit fragment of civilisation to the next at breakneck speed...gatecrashing all the cultures of the world
Spectator
Extraordinary and beautiful...the most exciting and ambitious work of non-fiction I have read in more than a decade
Maggie Gee, Daily Telegraph
It's the sort of book that will go on being famous long after we're all dead... If ever a volume deserved that overused ecomium "this book will change your life", it is this one
Oxford Today
One of the year's most original and outstanding books...fascinating labyrinths of history and human experience, which he perceptively, intructively and absorbingly explores. This is a read to relish
Financial Times
The book that changed my life... a constant companion
Bill Bailey, Prospect Magazine
Theodore Zeldin's all-embracing history of our feelings throughout the ages [is] brilliantly original and unsettling... His scope is dazzling... A seductive and unusually thought provoking book
Sunday Telegraph
