About the Author

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was born in France and came to live in the United States at the age of twenty-four. One of the most influential Catholic authors of the twentieth century, he received several awards for his contribution to religious study and contemplation. He was a tireless advocate for social justice and wrote more than 70 books. Merton was also a proponent of interreligious dialogue, engaging in spiritual dialogues with the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh and D. T. Suzuki. His life and career were suddenly cut short at age fifty-three when he died in 1968.
