Though he lived a mostly solitary existence as a Trappist monk, he had a dynamic impact on world affairs through his writing. An outspoken proponent of the antiwar and civil rights movements, he was both hailed as a prophet and castigated for his social criticism. He was also unique among religious leaders in his embrace of Eastern mysticism, positing it as complementary to the Western sacred tradition. Merton is the author of over forty books of poetry, essays, and religious writing, including <i>Mystics and Zen Masters</i>, and <i>The Seven Story Mountain</i>, for which he is best known. His work continues to be widely read to this day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Of all the words that have been written on race relations, those in this book seem the most powerful and unassailable" --<i>Virginia Pasley, Newsday</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Thomas Merton, </b> a Trappist monk, is perhaps the foremost spiritual of the twentieth century.
