Written in the twelfth century, this extraordinary correspondence between the bible scholar and philosopher Peter Abelard and his beautiful and precocious student, Heloise, tells the tragic story of the star-crossed lovers forced to live apart in religious orders, but also discusses philosophical and theological issues, revealing much about the medieval mind and emotions. Read by Gunnar Cauthery, Alison Pettitt and David Rintoul. Unabridged.
