Unblemished,plain black paper-covered boards with bright,crisp, stamped gilt letters to spine/backstrip and clean plain white endpapers.UK,8vo HB+ dw/dj,1st edn,7-220pp includes half-title+ title pages,and 39 chapters.Translated from the French title of 'Les Deux Moniales',1962,written by Rene Juilliard,by Emma Craufurd. The heart of this novel,whose setting is a Benedictine abbey for women,is a conflict between two utterly opposed personalities.On one side stands Mother Hildegard,the Abbess,who by virtue of her position excercises a well-nigh absolute authority over members of the community.Austere and doctrinaire,Mother Hildegard's energies are devoted to maintaining,by penance and fasting,the strictest observances of the Rule.Opposed to all that the Abbess stands for is Mother Stanislas,a notable scholar with an international reputation,whose life as a nun has been dedicated to the high and joyful ideals of a liberal humanist tradition.It is her request that she be allowed to pursue her researches in Rome, and Mother Hildegard's refusal to give her consent, that brings the long-standing breach between them out into the open.By degrees the whole community becomes involved;the issue of principle is blurred by the loyalty of some of the nuns to the reverend Mother, for whom they are prepared even to defy Rome.When 'The Two Nuns' appeared in France it swiftly attained the bestseller list where it stayed for many months. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too! So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight of this item for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
