Montaillou (Folio Society Edition) Emmanuel Leroy Ladurie

Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie’s *Montaillou* offers a vivid microhistory of a 14th-century French village. Based on meticulous inquisitorial records of Bishop Jacques Fournier, who later became Pope Benedict XII, the book reconstructs the daily lives, beliefs, and intimate details of peasants and shepherds in the Pyrenees. It unearths their struggles with religious heterodoxy, social structures, love, and community feuds, providing an unparalleled window into medieval rural life.
