The Seven Storey Mountain: Fiftieth-Anniversary Edition​ - Thomas Merton
This beautifully produced commemorative edition includes an account of the book's original publication by Merton's editor, Robert Giroux, an Introduction by Merton's biographer, Father William Shannon, and Merton's own Introduction to the Japanese edition. In 1948, an unusual book appeared on the American horizon that was destined to change the lives of millions of people. It was Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain. 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 leads h im, at the age of twenty-six, to take vows in one of the most demanding religious orders--the Trappists. At the monastery, and within the "four walls of my new freedom," Merton wrote this extraordinary testament--a document of a man who withdrew from the world only after he had fully immersed himself in it. For this beautiful Fiftieth Anniversary Edition, Robert Giroux has written a memoir of how he came to publish The Seven Storey Mountain, and Merton's distinguished biographer, William H. Shannnon, has supplied a note for the reader. In all, a magnificent edition of a classic of spiritual experience.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968), born in France and educated at Cambridge and Columbia, entered a Trappist monastery in Kentucky in 1941. He lived as a monk at the Abbey of Gethsemani for twenty-seven years and died in a tragic accident in Thailand. The Seven Storey Mountain is his most famous book.
