Por siempre

The year is 1118. Abelardo is a young scholastic, of enormous fame and prestige, focused. But, upon meeting Eloísa, whose beauty is matched only by her intelligence, he is impressed. And then everything changes. Well, soon their intellectual admiration for each other turns into ravishing passion. It is the story of Abelard and Heloise, one of the heights of medieval literature, but also a legend that transcends the barriers of time, since their love led to a human drama rarely comparable. Thus, in this novel, Alfonso Palomares tells us a tragic and unhappy love story, but, faithful to historical truth, almost austere, he approaches it with the wisdom of someone who knows the depths of the human soul and of History, with capital letters. Well, as the verse collected in Abelardo's epitaph, written by his sweet lover, sums up: "With you I endured the misfortunes / that with you, tired, I sleep".
