Soft cover. Condición: 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."

BAL 32. First edition, privately printed. Large 4to, original blue cloth, reddish-brown leather spine label, gilt lettering, untrimmed. One of the most famous of all American autobiographies and the book for which Henry Adams is best known: a rich exploration of history and the writing of history told through Adams' life. Henry Adams published two great works of history late in life, Mont Saint Michel and Chartres (1904) followed by The Education in 1907. Both were privately printed at Adams' expense, in highly limited editions, intended for friends, persons written about in the text, and those competent to comment on Adams' ideas and suggest changes. Neither were intended for public distribution. Harold Dean Cater in Henry Adams and His Friends (1947), wrote that Adams initially had "only forty copies [of The Education] printed, but that demand for it became so great that he had to have more copies made later." - see BAL 32. The Education was not published in a trade edition until 1918, with an "Editor's Preface by Henry Cabot Lodge" which Adams wrote himself and signed "H.C.L." Two years after that it won the Pulitzer Prize. In 2007, one hundred years after its first publication in this limited edition, The Education of Henry Adams is still celebrated as one of the finest American books of the 20th century. Cloth skillfully repaired at the corners, edges and hinges; early damp-stain on the top edges and lower board, slightly affecting the top blank margins; label a little worn; very good cop, enclosed in a blue cloth clamshell case.…
