"In this second of a projected seven-volume series of Merton's journals, Montaldo, an adviser to the journal The Merton Seasonal, gathers Merton's earliest reflections on his life as a monk. Included here are Merton's novitiate journal, his memoir of spiritual mentor Dom Frederic Dunne, and a journal recording the writing and publication of Merton's autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948)." (Libr J) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
The fourth volume of Thomas Merton's complete journals, one of his final literary legacies, springs from three hundred handwritten pages that capture - in candid, lively, deeply revealing passages - the growing unrest of the 1960s, which Merton witnessed within himself as plainly as in the changing culture around him. In these decisive years, 1960-1963, Merton, now in his late forties and frequently working in a new hermitage at the Abbey of Gethsemani, finds himself struggling between his longing for a private, spiritual life and the irresistible pull of social concerns. Precisely when he longs for more solitude, and convinces himself he should cut back on his writing, Merton begins asking complex questions about contemporary culture ("the 'world' with its funny pants, of which I do not know the name, its sandals and sunglasses"), war, and the Church's role in society. Thus, despite his resistance, he is drawn into the world where his celebrity and growing concern for social issues fuel his writings on civil rights, nonviolence, and pacifism and lead him into conflict with those who urge him to leave moral issues to bishops and theologians.

The third volume of Merton's "gutsy, thoughtful, passionate journals" (Thomas Moore) offers "unique insight into the mind and heart of the most important spiritual writer of the twentieth century" (Henri Nouwen). Ranging from his monastic routine to his exploration of Zen, existentialism, Latin American culture, and Marxism, this fascinating volume completes Merton's record of his spiritual odyssey
