What is Abelard and Heloise : their lives, their love, their letters , None about?

166 pages ; 21 cm, This compelling account of the two lovers who scandalized twelfth-century France takes us on an astounding journey into the relationship that gave rise to Abelard's unbridled lust and Heloise's legendary love. With stunning immediacy, the very personal and deeply moving narrative tells the events that shaped the lives of the celebrated philosopher and his sixteen-year-old pupil, herself no newcomer to scholarship. Young as she was, Heloise had gained distinction for her accomplishments long before Abelard sought her out and contrived to become her tutor. Their famous correspondence, which poignantly details their passions, began years after their marriage and forced separation, long after Heloise had been coerced into entering a convent and Abelard had become an ascetic monk. Though Abelard's academic brilliance left its mark on the centuries that followed, it is Heloise, her indomitable spirit and infinite compassion for the man she loved, who transcends the ages.
