La Paraclete The Story of Abelard And Heloise

The story of Abelard and Heloise is set in Medieval France. It is a compelling tale of romance and suffering at the hands of those who could not accept the couple's perplexing mix of sensualism and intellectualism. It portrays the triumph of love, friendship, and being true to oneself in spite of prevailing moral dicta. "Ironically, the main character, Alberic, from whose point of view the story revolves, lives in the throws of an epoch of great enlightenment...but seems to miss the meaning of it all--the fate of so many of us today who vicariously live other people's lives, but forget to live our own"--Cover verso.Randall, Rod is the author of 'La Paraclete The Story of Abelard And Heloise' with ISBN 9781420810806 and ISBN 1420810804.
