The Silent Life
By:Thomas Merton
Published on 2010-05-25 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Thomas Merton wrote The Silent Life a decade after he took orders. In his Prologue, Merton describes the book as |a meditation on the monastic life by one who, without any merit of his own, is privileged to know that life on the inside . . . who seeks only to speak as the mouthpiece of a tradition centuries old.| It is a remarkable work-one that combines a lucid and informative description of the nature and forms of monasticism, communal and solitary, with a passionate defense of the contemplative's quest for God. The intense beauty of Merton's meditation, radiating from beneath its surface calm, makes The Silent Life a classic of its kind.
