About this product

Product Information

Thoughtful and eloquent, as timely (or timeless) now as when it was originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude addresses the pleasure of a solitary life, as well as the necessity for quiet reflection in an age when so little is private. Thomas Merton writes: "When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate." Thoughts in Solitude stands alongside The Seven Storey Mountain as one of Merton's most uring and popular works. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, is perhaps the foremost spiritual thinker of the twentiethcentury. His diaries, social commentary, and spiritual writings continue to be widely read after his untimely death in 1968.

Reviews
"The writing itself, uniformly high in quality, seems one great burst of energy--the lifeward push of a man who loved cities and people but who loved solitude and God more, and who found a tolerable midpoint when he was alone and writing to somebody." - The New Yorker

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • For the serious Merton reader and those searching.

    A work of Merton's that can not be passed up. Especially if you are reading for your own search for solitude. It contains Thomas Merton's "Prayer" and other insight writings. If you are on a spiritual journey then this is one book you will enjoy.

  • Unbelievably wonderful & challenging read!

    Thomas Merton's insight has never ceased to take my breath away. It is no different with "Thoughts in Solitude". He delivers soul-searching words that will challenge your world view & your view of our Creator.
