Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. This is the 1986 Penguin Books paperback reprint of "Mont Saint Michel and Chartres" by Henry Adams. It is likely the most famous book about the island of St Michel, which is home to one of the most remarkable cathedrals in the world. Combined with his description of Chartres Cathedral, this book is a thorough and remarkable engagement on the part of the author. Readers can only thank Henry Adams for his effort. It is a book for eternity. Here is the book's write-up, from the back cover : "This book is a record not of a literal journey, but of a meditative journey across time and space into the medieval imagination. Using the architecture, sculpture, and stained glass of the two locales as a starting point, Adams breathes life into what other might see merely as monuments of a past civilization. With daring and inventive conceits, Adams looks at the ordinary people, places, and events in the context of social conventions and systems of thought and belief of the thirteenth century, turning the study of history into a kind of theatre."
