"Without a life of the spirit our whole existence becomes unsubstantial and illusory." -- THomas Merton. "[The Seven Storey Mountain has] a pattern and meaning valid for all of us." -- Graham Greene. "Within a year of its publication in 1948, The Seven Storey Mountain had sold hundreds of thousands of copies and became a classic for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. This unique spiritual autobiography is the account of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man whose search for peace and faith eventually led him, at the age of twenty-six, to take vows in one of the most demanding religious orders, the Trappists. At the monastery, within the "four walls of my new freedom," Merton wrote his extraordinary testament -- the document of a man who withdrew from the world only after he had fully immersed himself in it." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
