The Letters of Abelard and Heloise is one of the most extraordinary correspondences in European history. Written in the 12th century, the letters document the love affair between Peter Abelard, a revolutionary philosopher and biblical scholar, and his beautiful and precocious student, Heloise. Eviscerated by his religious opponents and castrated by Heloise’s family, Abelard is haunted by ill fortune, and the star-crossed lovers are forced into separate lives, as monk and nun respectively, with letters being their only form of communication.

After finding my soon-to-be ex-husband together with my soon-to-be ex-assistant, I realize his "for better or for worse" didn't include my 40s. An extended vacation on a remote Italian island sounds like the perfect antidote to a midlife crisis - until I arrive. I'm expecting Chianti and pasta. What I get is a run-down bed-and-breakfast with the oldest Nonna in existence. There's something about this island. Something odd. Like how everyone keeps calling me Mamma or how I'm the first tourist in decades.

"La Nouvelle Héloïse" est le roman de Rousseau : l'auteur y dépeint une utopie servant à mettre en scène ses idées philosophiques et y donne à voir ce que doit être pour lui le sentiment d'amour : un état passionné, servant sans cesse à magnifier et honorer la raison.

The deepest currents of passion seldom break the surface of literature. Romantic classics abound; but however skilled a writer may be in verbalising an emotional experience, he cannot publicly evoke the heat of blood, the yearning of soul, bared in perfect intimacy between two beings. But letters can do this, and songs never meant to be sung by any but the lover, or the beloved.

A rigidly-trained Legion of Christ missionary in Mexico falls in love against all the rules and finds himself living out the eternal story of impossible love, in a XX century version of Abelard & Heloise: “Love is incapable of being concealed; a word, a look, nay silence, speaks it. My scholars discovered it first: they saw I had no longer that vivacity of thought to which all things were easy: I could now do nothing but write verses to sooth my passion. I quitted Aristotle and his dry maxims, to practice the precepts of the more ingenious Ovid. No day passed in which I did not compose ...

I've survived my 40s long enough to discover I'm cursed. Figuring out how to break the curse is a whole other problem. My arrival in Aradia set off a series of unexplainable events - the veil breaking down, ghosts arriving by the shipload, and Aurick becoming...beautiful? Now, the dying god has finally started dying, and everyone fears his rebirth. Fortunately, I have my newfound powers and my Siren Squad to help me. Only, I have no idea how to actually use my powers, and the Council arrested me on sight.

To prevent the next great war between the gods and supernaturals, I had one job. Keep my sons far, far away from Aradia. Then why are they sitting next to me, enjoying their own Italian getaway? Back home, they're Josh and Jacob, two average college freshmen with a propensity for pranks. In my world, they are the She-Wolf's twins, feared and fated to rise - or fell - great empires.

The Priests on the Legion of Christ’s Yucatan Missions: This book is a composition of real diaries. The Legion of Christ has only one foreign mission project: in Quintana Roo, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula; the man in the street associates it with Cancun. But these testimonies are from the 1970s through the early 2000s when that part of Mexico was almost as wild as Graham Greene’s Tabasco and Campeche in "The Power and the Glory." Many missionaries lived alone in remote towns, facing all the challenges of ministry and celibacy on their own. Their starved affectivity -it they still had ...

Will anyone understand this story? What led to the above rapturous discovery of romantic love? Or –depending on your religious point of view- how did a faithful and devout priest fall so precipitously from grace? How did this meticulously trained Legionary of Christ plunge to his death in the blink of an eye like an Acapulco diver done awry? How was his armor so easily pierced by the batting of a dark eyelash? For decades after the heady events in Mexico City and the Yucatan, our protagonist Abelard stored away his notebooks in battered boxes left in the basement. They were painful, goofy...
