Merton : a biography

Furlong's work is the first comprehensive account of Merton's life and achievements. She draws on a wealth of previously unavailable material to reader's beyond the public image of the ascetic saint into his spiritual struggles self-doubts, conflicts with authority, and courageous social stands. What emerges is a dramatic, richly detailed portrait of a figure who succeeded in modeling a search for meaning and an authentic way of life
