Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the relationship between two worlds, the monastic and the secular. The backdrop of the story is the monastery of La Trappe in Algeria, a place of extreme austerity and silence. Here, the monks follow a life of solitude, prayer, and work, living according to the rule of St. Benedict. The story centers on two particular characters, the Abbot and the monk Angelo. The Abbot is a man of great wisdom and compassion, who has spent many years in the monastery. He knows the value of silence and solitude, but he also recognizes the dangers of excessive asceticism. Angelo, on the other hand, is a young man who has recently joined the monastery. He is full of enthusiasm and idealism, but he also struggles with the temptations of the outside world. In time, Angelo is drawn away from the monastery by a beautiful woman, a dancer named Dolores. He follows her to Paris, where he experiences the pleasures and temptations of the secular world. Through his journey, the author explores the themes of faith, temptation, and the search for meaning in life. Ultimately, this book offers insights into the human condition and the challenges we all face as we navigate the complexities of the world.
