Sinopsis

~ CollectorâÇÖs Edition ~ Laminated Hardback with Jacket ~A secret love affair, a scandal that shook the medieval world, and letters that have echoed through the centuries-this is the story of Héloûse and Abelard. She was a brilliant scholar, he a famed philosopher, and together they defied the conventions of their time, drawn to each other by passion and intellect. What began as an illicit romance soon turned into a tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and an unbreakable bond that endured against all odds. Through their letters, they bare their souls, grappling with love, loss, and the pursuit of wisdom, leaving behind one of historyâÇÖs most haunting and profound correspondences.More than a love story,áThe Letters of Abelard and Heloiseáoffers a rare glimpse into medieval intellectual life, gender dynamics, and religious thought. HéloûseâÇÖs bold arguments on love and autonomy challenge the constraints placed on women, while AbelardâÇÖs reflections reveal the complexities of faith, reason, and power. Their exchange captures the turbulence of 12th-century Europe, from scholastic debates to monastic ideals, making it a vital historical document. Centuries later, their words continue to inspire, illuminating the personal struggles behind some of the eraâÇÖs most profound philosophical and theological ideas.
