Trappist monk and best-selling author, Thomas Merton attempted to reconcile these two seemingly incompatible roles in life. Here is a portrait of a man torn between the influence of the twentieth century and the serenity of the religious ideal, a man who used his own personal crises to guide his youthful ideals to a higher purpose.
