Author:Heloise,Peter Abelard
The illicit relationship between Peter Abelard, a medieval philosopher, and his young pupil Heloise is one of history’s most legendary and tragic love affairs. From reckless ecstasy to public scandal and cruel separation, their eloquent and intimate letters tell the story of their passionate, doomed romance.
United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love’s endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love, virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted and obsessional love….
Don Quixote is the first modern novel, perhaps the most eternal novel ever written and certainly the fountainhead of European and American fiction
—— Carlos FuentesWhat a unique monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!
—— Thomas MannA fluent translation-has energy and clarity-and the rhythm of the telling is compelling
—— GuardianIndisputably the definitive translation
—— ObserverCervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?
—— Milan KunderaDon Quixote begins as a province, turns into Spain, and ends as a universe. . . . The true spell of Cervantes is that he is a natural magician in pure story-telling
—— V. S. PritchettThis new translation of the Spanish classic is a marvel-It is impossible not to approve of this book in every respect-I find it impossible to imagine that a better novel will be published this year
