Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is the 1986 Penguin Books paperback reprint of "Mont Saint Michel and Chartres" by Henry Adams. It is likely the most famous book about the island of St Michel, which is home to one of the most remarkable cathedrals in the world. Combined with his description of Chartres Cathedral, this book is a thorough and remarkable engagement on the part of the author. Readers can only thank Henry Adams for his effort. It is a book for eternity. Here is the book's write-up, from the back cover : "This book is a record not of a literal journey, but of a meditative journey across time and space into the medieval imagination. Using the architecture, sculpture, and stained glass of the two locales as a starting point, Adams breathes life into what other might see merely as monuments of a past civilization. With daring and inventive conceits, Adams looks at the ordinary people, places, and events in the context of social conventions and systems of thought and belief of the thirteenth century, turning the study of history into a kind of theatre."

This is "The Education of Henry Adams", with an Introduction by Leon Wieseltrier, as issued in "The Library of America" series and published by Vintage Books in paperback format. This copy happens to be the First Edition of the Vintage Series. From the cover write-up: " Henry Adams was one of the most powerful and original minds to confront the American scene from the Civil War to the First World War. Though a man of the modern world, Adams remained in temperament a child of the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries, his political ideals shaped by his presidential ancestors, John Adams and grandfather John Quincy Adams. 'The Education of Henry Adams' is a brilliant memoir of the extraordinary events and ideas that converged in Henry Adam's life : diplomacy, physics, politics, religion, society, poetry."
