Présentation de l'éditeur
The purpose of this book, in the author's words: "...its subject is one that has seldom received fair treatment at the hands of non-Catholic writers. Quick enough to condemn what they considered the abuses of the monastic system, they have not always given a just meed of praise to the merit they could not deny. The glorious part this system played in developing and guiding the spiritual powers of men, its incomparable work of leading Europe out of the wreck and ruin of barbarism and into the blessings of civilization, has usually been but grudgingly told and with sufficient qualifications to neutralize its merit." The stupendous accomplishments of the monastics in the Middle Ages, and their virtual creation of Western Civilization will not cease to amaze the reader. Experiencing the mere liberation from an oft told myth is enough to make this book a pleasure.
