The Seven Storey Mountain By Thomas Merton

The Seven Storey Mountain By Thomas Merton PDF book download from here. The Seven Storey Mountain is an autobiography by Thomas Merton, an American Trappist monk and priest. Merton completed this profound work in 1946 at the age of 31, five years after entering Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky. The title alludes to Dante’s Purgatorio, where the mountain represents purgatory. In this book, Merton reflects on his early life and the spiritual journey that led him to convert to Roman Catholicism at the age of 23.

Leaving behind a promising literary career, he entered the monastery, and within its walls, he poured out his life story. The book, which redefined the image of monasticism, has remained continuously in print and has been translated into over 15 languages.
