Born to a bohemian artist couple in 1915, Merton adjusted quickly to the life of a loner. A dissolute student at Cambridge, a self~styled radical and big~man~on~campus at Columbia, a social worker in Harlem, Merton became increasingly dissatisfied with his active, worldly life and, at the age of 26, he entered a Trappist monastery. Choosing a life of solitude, Merton welcomed the enforced silence, the fasting and the physical discomfort as necessary for his personal growth and enlightenment. Ironically, this "silent" Trappist became the voice for a new generation of young people when he described his experience in an extraordinary autobiography. Read and reread by millions, The Seven Storey Mountain is one of the greatest spiritual classics of all time. Later, as a solitary hermit on the grounds of the abbey, Thomas Merton combined the life of a quiet contemplative with that of an outspoken opponent of war and racism. And always he was writing. In the twenty~seven years he spent as a Trappist monk, Merton wrote more than forty books, including No Man ls an Island, The Way of Cbuang~tzu, Seeds of Destruction and Mystics and Zen Masters, as well as hundreds of letters, articles, essays and poems. Drawing from Merton's published works and from discussions with those who knew him, the Sussmans have written a dramatic and deeply moving biography of this uniquely American prophet.
