Couverture de Farewell My Only One par Antoine Audouard

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Through the eyes of William, one of Abelard's acolytes and companions, Farewell, My Only One tells the story of Peter Abelard, the most famous philosopher and theologian of 12th-century Europe, and his passionate, but ultimately doomed, love affair with the gifted and beautiful Heloise, niece of the canon of Notre Dame in Paris, who extracts horrifying vengeance on his ward's lover. One of the great romances of all times, Antoine Audouard has based his narrative on Abelard's and Heloise's celebrated correspondence and contemporary texts, immersing the reader in the lives of a hero and heroine whose love will never die. Biographie de l'auteur The son of a well-known French writer and journalist, Antoine Audouard was born in 1956 and had very early success with three novels in rapid succession before gave up writing for commercial publishing. Happening across the letters of Heloise and Abelard inspired him to write Farewell, My Only One, his first novel in nineteen years.
