The Seven Storey Mountain

by Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton's spiritual autobiography tells how a worldly, restless young intellectual gave up everything to become a Trappist monk. Beautifully written and searchingly honest, The Seven Storey Mountain is the rare conversion story that reads like literature, not testimony.
