What was life like for ordinary people in the Middle Ages? Few books have answered that question more vividly than Montaillou by the French historian EMMANUEL LE ROY LADURIE. The book is a chronicle of life in a 14th-century village in the Pyrenees. The film is a portrait of Montaillou as it was in 1300 and as it is today. Readings MARTIN JARVIS and DENISE BRYER
