The Journals of Thomas Merton Volume Five 1963 - 1965.
Seeking Peace in the Hermitage.
When Thomas Merton died accidentally in Bangkok in 1968, the beloved Trappist monk's will specified that his personal diaries not be published for 25 years - presumably because they contained his uncensored thoughts and feelings. Now the journals are the last major piece of writing to appear by one of the twentieth century's most important spiritual writers.
In this fifth volume of Merton's acclaimed journals, the renowned monk and writer immerses himself in the revolutionary ideas of the sixties and finally begins to live full-time at his own hermitage.
