Beschreibung

The famous correspondences of the philosopher and scholar Peter Abelard and the Catholic nun Heloise are eloquent and shocking - their forbidden relationship serves as both a drama and history of Medieval society.

Writing in the early 12th century, Abelard and Heloise first met when both were young. Attracted to one another almost immediately, the two struck up a relationship which blossomed when Abelard convinced Heloise's uncle, Fulbert, to allow him residence in exchange for free tutorship of the young Heloise. Their romance, illicit because they were not a consummated, married couple, continued until Heloise became pregnant with Abelard's child.

The subsequent drama which ensued damaged Fulbert's reputation - as a respected canon in Parisian society, he was deeply angered by the pair's affinity. Eventually the two, feeling pressured by Fulbert's anger and the social stigma of the time, agreed to marry in a secret ceremony.

Über den Autor

Peter Abelard, a renowned medieval philosopher and theologian, presents his masterpiece "Historia Calamitatum" as a candid and introspective account of his tumultuous life. In this autobiographical work, Abelard bares his soul, chronicling the trials and tribulations that shaped his journey from intellectual brilliance to personal tragedy. Through vivid prose and raw emotion, Abelard recounts his rise to prominence as a pioneering thinker in the scholastic tradition, his scandalous love affair with Héloïse, and the subsequent hardships he endured, including exile, humiliation, and religious persecution. In "Historia Calamitatum," Abelard offers readers a window into the complexities of medieval life, from the intellectual ferment of the schools to the rigid social mores and religious fervor of the time. His introspective reflections on love, faith, and the pursuit of knowledge resonate across the centuries, offering timeless insights into the human condition. Abelard's candid narrative and philosophical musings make "Historia Calamitatum" a compelling and enduring work, revered for its honesty, intellect, and emotional depth. Through his personal odyssey, Abelard invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love, loss, and resilience, making this book a timeless masterpiece of autobiographical literature.
