Hardbound. Condition: Fair. 1st English Edition. Description: Dust jacket design by Tim Gaydos. Includes six double sided black and white plates. Peter Abelard was, at thirty four, the most sought-after teacher in the medieval world. Master of logic, dialectic, and theology, he had matched intellects with the giants of his time,… including Anselm and William of Chapeaux. At the height of young Abelard's fame as a teacher at the cloister of Notre Dame in Paris, Heloise came to live with her uncle, Canon Fulbert, to further her already formidable education. Still in her teens, she has astonished her contemporaries with her mastery of subjects, including philosophy, that few men, let alone women, were even exposed to. And she was as beautiful as she was brilliant and eager to learn. Among his dozens of students Abelard could hardly have missed her. Contriving o become her tutor, and a boarder at her uncle's home, Abelard scandalized his colleagues and students with their love affair. This traces the course of one of the most celebrated and influential relationships; in European history.

The grotesque game of the Law, played in the taverns of Apulia in southern Italy, is but a shadow of an even fiercer attitude to life, a potent metaphor for a vigorously hierarchical view of existence which rules over the 'mezzogiorno', the noonday culture of southern Italy. 'The Law' is a study in the social structure of a small fishing village in Italy in the 1950s. The loosely woven story revolves around three main patriarch figures. Illicit romance, infidelity, class structure, and tradition are all subtexts of the daily life of this post war southern Italian town. Novelist, screen writer, war hero and disillusioned French communist Roger Vailland (1907-65), captures the chaotic personal dramas unfolding against the sleepy backdrop of small town life along the Mediterranean. Made into a film in 1959 starring Gina Lollobrigida, Yves Montand and Pierre Brasseur. Jacket and endpapers by David Knight (illustrator).
