The complete and unedited edition of Thomas Merton’s famous autobiography, one of the greatest works of spiritual pilgrimage ever written.
It is a rare pleasure to read an autobiography with a pattern and meaning valid for all of us. The Seven Storey Mountain is a book one reads with a pencil so as to make it one’s own.
Graham Greene
A remarkable book, a classic of its kind, written in a vivid, rich and alert style which ranges from crisp vernacular to passionate eloquence, full of picturesque incident and passing at times into religious ecstasy.
The Times Literary Supplement
A book which may well prove to be of permanent interest in the history of religious experience.
Evelyn Waugh
