- Synopsis
- From the book: "Without a life of the spirit," Thomas Merton maintains, "our whole existence becomes unsubstantial and illusory. The life of the spirit, by integrating us in the real order established by God, puts us in the fullest possible contact with reality-not as we imagine it, but as it really is." A recapitulation of his earlier work SEEDS OF CONTEMPLATION, No MAN IS AN ISLAND is a collection of sixteen essays in which Merton plumbs aspects of human spirituality. He addresses those in search of enduring values, fulfillment, and salvation in prose that is, as always, inspiring and compassionate. "This is a book written by a man of God for men of God. As such it may also be of value to those men of goodwill as yet without God ..." -THE NEW YORK TIMES
