In a brilliantly inventive work, bestselling author Simon Schama explores the enigma of 17th-century Holland, a nation that attained an unprecedented level of affluence, yet lived in constant dread of being corrupted by prosperity.

Drawing on a vast array of period documents and sumptuously reproduced art, The Embarrassment of Riches throbs with life on every page.
