Synopsis

Here is the definitive edition of St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle: translated by E. Allison Peers. This mystic book is as inspirational and enlightening today as it was when it was first written. St. Teresa lays out the foundation for an ideal journey of faith. St. Teresa was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be, along with Saint John of the Cross, a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. She became the first female to be named a Doctor of the Church, in 1970, and is one of only three females to be awarded that honor.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582) was a Spanish Carmelite nun, mystic, writer, and religious reformer. Working alongside Saint John of the Cross, she helped establish the Discalced Carmelite movement and sought to restore a life of prayer, simplicity, and discipline within the Carmelite order.Her most influential works include Interior Castle, The Way of Perfection, and The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila. Through vivid imagery and close observation of the inner life, she explored prayer, self-knowledge, spiritual discipline, and union with God. She was canonized in 1622 and later became the first woman named a Doctor of the Church.

E. Allison Peers (1891-1952) was an English scholar, translator, and leading authority on Spanish literature and mysticism. He served as Gilmour Professor of Spanish at the University of Liverpool and played an important role in establishing Hispanic studies as a serious academic discipline in Britain. He also founded the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies and helped establish the Modern Humanities Research Association.Peers translated and edited major works by Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross, including Interior Castle, The Life of Teresa of Jesus, and their collected writings. His careful, scholarly translations introduced generations of English-language readers to the great Spanish mystics and remain widely read and respected.
