Thoughts in Solitude Merton, Thomas Audiotape
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Merton one of his most popular and enduring books, Thoughts in Solitude, is being presented as an unabridged audiobook. The set consists of 2-1/2 hours of material on 2 CDS narrated by Jonathan Montaldo. Originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude talks about the pleasure of solitary life and the necessity of quiet reflection in an age when so little is private. It was true in 1956 and is even more so in today's chaotic and hectic world. Merton feels we not only have the need but the right to solitude and interior freedom. "Society depends for its existence on the personal solitude of its members. When society is made up of members who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love; and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority". You can see why Thoughts in Solitude is so relevant and needed today. The audiobook could be used for personal use or for a group meeting and discussion over a couple of nights if necessary.Thoughts in Solitude Thomas Merton Audiobook 2-1/2HRS on 2CDs Narrated by Jonathan Montaldo
