Description
The book on which I'd like to put my money, if I had it in my power to bring it to the attention of every discriminating reader. And yet I approached it with a certain degree of reluctance. The story of Heloise and Abelard has been told many times before, but this outclasses any previous interpretation, and it is doubtful if it will be equalled for beauty and distinction and palpitating life in any future rendering. Against a vigorous and sharply etched background of Paris of the 12th century, and of the turbulent currents of clerical and monastic life in those days, one of the world's great loves was enacted, and is here retold with warmth and sympathy and a keenly spiritual and emotional fervor that lifts it out of the general run. Reported late because of a misunderstanding about the publication date -- so don't run the risk of missing it. Literary Guild Selection for October. Watch it. The right send off and it may be a best seller.
