About this book
Thomas Merton, an American Trappist monk and priest, wrote "The Seven Storey Mountain" as an autobiography.. The book, first released on October 11, 1948, was completed by Merton in 1946, five years after he joined the Gethsemani Abbey near Bardstown, Kentucky.
Merton recounts his early life and his journey to faith in God, which led to his conversion to Roman Catholicism at the age of 23. Following his conversion, Merton abandoned a promising literary career, resigned from his position as an English literature teacher at St. Bonaventure’s College in Olean, New York, and joined the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in rural Kentucky.
