<title><![CDATA[Librivox: Story of My Misfortunes, The (or: Historia Calamitatum) by Abelard, Pierre]]></title>
<link>http://librivox.org/the-story-of-my-misfortunes-by-peter-abelard/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Autobiographies from remote historical periods can be especially fascinating.
Modes of self-presentation vary greatly across the centuries, as of course does
the very concept of Self.

Peter Abelard, the medieval philosopher and composer, here gives a concise
but vivid survey of his notoriously calamitous life. The work is couched in the
form of a letter to an afflicted friend. Abelard's abrasively competitive, often
arrogant personality emerges at once in the brief Foreword, where he informs his
correspondent: "(I)n comparing your sorrows with mine, you may discover that
yours are in truth nought.. and so shall you come to bear them the more easily."
(Summary by Martin Geeson) ]]></description>
