The Perfect Heresy, The Revolutionary Life and Death of the Medieval Cathars

by Stephen O'Shea

  • HISTORY
  • 2001
  • HARD COVER
  • 333 PAGES
  • OUT OF PRINT

A rousing tale of the Cathars, their revolutionary beliefs, ways of life and the rage they provoked in the Catholic church. It reads like a novel with a good dose of sex and violence to liven its focus on politics. It's a sympathetic (and rather shocking!) portrait of life among the heretics of 13th century Languedoc. With black-and-white photographs, illustrations and maps.  (FRN305, $25.00)
