Monneuse, Denis

Suzanne Simonin wird als uneheliches Kind von ihrer streng gläubigen Mutter in ein Kloster abgeschoben, wo sie den Schikanen einer sadistischen Oberin ausgesetzt ist und den klösterlichen Alltag als brutales Gefängnis erlebt. Der französische Autor und Aufklärer Denis Diderot schildert den Leidensweg der »Nonne wider Willen« mit beklemmender Eindringlichkeit. Wir begleiten Suzanne bei ihrem Kampf gegen Heuchelei und Doppelmoral und erfahren von ihren Bemühungen, dem Kloster zu entkommen.

A Tale of Two Monasteries takes an unprecedented look at one of the great rivalries of the Middle Ages and offers it as a revealing lens through which to view the intertwined histories of medieval England and France. This is the first book to systematically compare Westminster Abbey and the abbey of Saint-Denis–two of the most important ecclesiastical institutions of the thirteenth century–and to do so through the lives and competing careers of the two men who ruled them, Richard de Ware of Westminster and Mathieu de Vendôme of Saint-Denis.
